Great portrait - you have once again taken what could have been an ordinary shot and made a masterpeice by blending the subtle colors with rich textures.

Amazing how you can take an ordinary person, and make their portrait extrordinary! What a great experience it must be to be able to capture people in their element and really bring their personallity through! I think you nailed this one!

Good one! I had about given up!

I like how you shot Eric; a mixture of bad ass city boy raised in the NY country side; grows up with a love for the woods, cold mossy rock, and how the river flows. The West fell in love with him and now the city might just want to seduce him. I would say from the experience of knowing the truth that this one is not so ordinary. My suggestion is to shoot him again for the 2008 portraits perhaps in the Spring. For all viewers of this one, check out his website and films!
