Lovely work Steve. Very inspirational.

I really hope Chris likes that shot as much as the rest of us do. It's a marvellous portrait you can be extremely proud of.

Well done and thank you for sharing them with us. :D

Killa shots Killa! Seriously as said, the shot of Chris is outstanding!!! I will see if he's framed it and hung it on his wall when I'm next visiting him :)

Steve, great shots of both the subjects, if Garys got a good side you've certainly captured it. I like both shots equally, the BW treatment sets the mood. Well done. The Budhas look good as well. :)

Thanks everyone.

Most thanks should go to both Chris and Gary, who make such photogenic subjects.

There is so much character in their faces.

They have that certain expression that says they have had interesing lives and they have hundreds of stories to tell.
Steve.

Steve - what can I say! I normally do not like photo’s that have been taken of me but I have to admit that this is a superb shot - I like it very much. I feel honoured to be in a gallery along with Gary and Buddha :)

How did I miss this one. :shock: Love the pic of Chris, has a nice warmth to it, much as I imagine Chris to be.
