Yes, No1 is raw nerve, sooo good. So is No 3. I like No 4 as well, the gun looks so out of place here, it makes you think. No 2 is a good example of how to turn a mundane scene into a great image. No 5 is a great character, and No 6 is a life story.  Priceless.

Up close Street and PJ shooting with good/direct contact is really cool, I like it very few can actually pull this off...
Super nice! But you know that :)

I will 'look into' how you process some of the recent work on digital and make it look like TriX It really pops!

wow

thank you for sharing your work

When I was a teen my parents got a series of books , encyclopedia perhaps, by Life, one special book had a collection of photographies from the magazine, it was a selection of the ones that were famous, and this series reminds me of that book and the good times I had browsing through it
