Faces of Our Friends and Neighbors

I’m really excited about a new self–assignment project that grew from the Scott Kelby Photo Walk I participated in last August. Normally I prefer to photograph nature and wildlife, but on the Photo Walk I shot primarily street portraits with my favorite black & white film. It was so much fun that I did it again a couple weekends later. I shot enough film to whet my appetite for more.

On this page I will share a lot of those photos with you. Now and then you will be able to see them locally when I exhibit them throughout the area.

Currently I’m sharing some of those portraits at Dr. Ann Lagonegro’s office on Rt. 17 in Gloucester, Virginia.

This couple was power walking while I was strolling the streets of Colonial Williamsburg. I heard them coming up behind me and within seconds they passed me by. I saw them later at the Farmer’s Market on Merchant’s Square with a bag of tomatoes. I asked them if I could take their photo. Look at those smiles!

From Exhibit - Faces of Saturday Morning

This is one of my favorite photos that I’ve taken so far. The gentleman doing the hugging was a pleasure to meet and he made everyone smile that he came in contact with that morning. You’ll see him again in another photo later.

A little coffee with their conversation.

Every morning a group of Urbanna’s finest have their morning coffee and conversation at Cross Street Coffee. Weather permitting, I am told they like to take both out in front of the shop. There is ample seating and I was lucky enough to be there on a morning when the lively group of friends were meeting. Thanks for the great shot guys!

: Sweet Smiles at the Williamsburg Farmers Market

This is one of those faces that inspired me to start this project. A smile like that has to be shared; isn’t she beautiful?

Isn’t he sweet? This was taken at the lunch counter at Marshall’s Drug Store in Urbanna, Virginia.

Full of Pride

Isn’t he a most handsome gentleman? Thank you, Mr. Perez, for the honor of taking your portrait.
