I shall be "out of commission" for several weeks due to Cataract surgery scheduled for late May. During the past several years, the vision has gotten progressively worse, in the "good eye" or as I hear about pro-athletes, "diminishing skill set. I have worn spectacles since last century with vision that could not be corrected closer than 20-40; 1 1/2 decades ago I incurred a "detached retina" and in late 2016 there were several holes/tears in the "so called" good eye. BUT ACCORDING TO BOTH DOCTORS said the eyes are healthy. I appreciate all the support and comments recieved over the past years T An abbreviated bio: Jesuit college; 1LT US

your work is very beautiful, full of artistry and emotion, many thanks for share 
I truly appreciate the compliment.

All the studio photographs are in our century home 8 or so miles from Cleveland. My spouse of 4 1/2 decades is usually home providing the models a "sense of comfort & relaxation", perhaps this is the key.
My eyes have been CATARACTED to 20-20; until 2017, the Ophthalmologist could correct to 20-50 due to several retinal tears

I practice and practice and practice.

Once again, thanks for the most sincere compliment.
wooooow¡  against all odds you have find the way to make great photos
