Ewwwww. But in a good way!
You are getting to be a GREAT street photog (even though I didn't see a street in those images). The "ahoy" character has his face in the shade, I wish there was more light there but it was probably not a posed shot like the skull person. Or I guess you can blame it on not having a VAL :). And the pp is very nice. I hope we see some interesting people like you have found when we make the RenFest trip.

Thanks Cindi! I'm trying to train myself to pay more attention to lighting! I tend to look at composition first and to not pay as much attention to lighting as I should. Hopefully you will notice me improving on this!
Cheers!

Hello, Barry. I've heard a lot about your blog and this is my first time here. AWESOME!
OK, but could you improve NEXT year? It's getting stressful trying to stay ahead of you in POTY!

Thanks Shirley! Come back often...and bring your friends!
Cheers!
