Ms. Cleo


There are volumes of stories in a person's face.  This is my wonderful neighbor.  She agreed to stop working
in her garden long enough for me to take a portrait of her.  The honesty I was able to capture here is
breathtaking.  I'm not bragging, just telling you how gracious she is.  I feel so honored and blessed when
someone looks me straight in the eye.  F 4.5  1/200  iso250 center weight metered, fill flash.  I was down on
my knees looking up at her.  Spend a little time here.  I personally believe that photography is about detail
moreso than painting.  I strive for those little messages in photographing and I will spend the rest of my
life trying to lose the detail when I paint.
