Denise & Anna-Lou brush their teeth in the wash room...man clearing his nose...filling the basin...changed our minds they declare...still can't find how to turn the music down. Chatting to an Aussie who leads school groups into Tibet...what a life.... Read Full Entry

It's unique to pull off unique these days.
I reckon you've done it... growing into this style like a Great Banyan now standing proudly alone. A grandeur in the twisted chaos. Makes me nostalgic for China even though I'm here...filling in those dots as I read.

Dave, was it cold?
Ah,yes, don't complain. Love this one. You are the master of the portrait. We would love to ride a bullet train.

Like the Arctic wind in my room...just as I like it. An excuse for more portraits...glad you like them.

THANKS JAY
I usually ask when I take portraits...but that one not. They were both in different head spaces sitting on a seat and any interruption would have destroyed the moment. Thanks for commenting.

THANKS RENanDREW
Glad this shot is liked as I agree it is on many levels. Not only has it caught this couple in a moment of time but they sat in that position like statues for ages without moving...totally in their own thoughts. I feared they would move and I would lose the shot...but no. Thanks for commenting.
