Now that I know that she's blind, I see the portrait differently; it was strong before; it's stronger now. Cheers!

They are always welcome. Yea, it's tough. That's why another one of the top 4 favorite sayings is Kyle's "Keep Clicking that Shutter, It Will Eventually Become Unstuck." (or something like that) (The other 3 are Shoot from the shadow side; one (prime) lens, one camera, 6 months; and If your picture sucks, then you are not close enough :-) ) BTW, not that it is an excuse, but Mary Ellen has been blind for well over 30 years, so getting eye contact would be hit or miss...
