December 2010 Portraits

[jim kitchen]

Great images everyone...

This December thread is surely producing an array of brilliant portraits from several talented souls. Well done ustas, Stephane, John, Frank, and everyone else. I am humbled by your previous entries.

I therefore humbly submit two recent portraits of another excellent friend and associate...

i prefer the 1st....remind me to behave myself in the ship and anchor pub! with a name like that (an a bouncer like that) it could be a rough place!

Side view of the bouncer dude is really good and different!

[Jan Pedersen]

Both are fabulous portraits and so are the first 10 pages in this thread. I wish i had the skills you all are showing here. Great work and very interesting differences in your presentation.

Great portraits Jim! Well done!

Gentlemen,

Merci...

RH is a few centimetres shorter then me, but out weighs me by thirty kilos...

He is a gentleman and a physical giant, especially when a situation dictates the need, and where you surely don't whisper "Yoo Hoo, buckeroo..." in his ear, during the Calgary Stampede.

Great portraits, Jim. The tattoos on his arms are some of the most interesting I have seen in a long time. Tattoos often look bitsa to me, but these look deliberate, and as part of a whole. I am less fond of the skulls on his hands, but no matter.

I'm still trying out different films and getting use to the larger format, I don't know why I took so long to get here. But thanks to all the "exposure" I get on this forum I think I am making progress....Rick tardiff...
