We’ve had friendships, acquaintances, lovers, parents, siblings, and all other nouns describing the people we’ve come across in life. As a photographer, I was lucky enough to have opportunities to record the likenesses of many I’ve met and known for future reference and remembrances.
There’ve been many times over the years I’ve wanted to share these with a wide viewership. On occasion, I’ve suffered with momentary feelings of photo-fear.1 Not because I didn’t know what I was doing. Primarily because I didn’t feel they were “perfect.” Today, I disposed with that negativity and decided—f*¢k it! Here are ten random portraits taken over the years just because I like ‘em.

There’s so much more, but will leave it here for now. Thanks for taking time in your day to read through this story.

Photo-fear: Self-made term indicating internalized fallibilities including fear of rejection by viewers and creative peers.
I can certainly relate to photo-fear. Completely unfounded here, though. Fab set, Kenneth, thanks for sharing.
Excellent. Love these. Mohammad is my favourite but the self portrait picture is delightful, pleasing to the eye and full of humour
