Kevin Mara at the 2010 Army Navy Game in Philadelphia PA. I rarely post photos of people here. I feel like it's an intrusion. However, it it's interesting to note how people's photographic interests evolve. There is a whole gang of people who started together in the critique forums on Flickr. We all started by posting landscapes. We've become more adventurous and are shooting, and posting, more photos of people, experimenting with lighting, etc. Take a look at the evolution Fiona Brim's photography on Flickr. Fiona lives in central Scotland and has plenty of interesting subjects. It's also worth looking at Tom Kaszuba's photoblog. Tom lives and shoots in the Norwich CT area and is well regarded for his atmospheric landscapes along the Connecticut shore. However, he has an equally interesting portfolio of portraits.

I've grown a lot more interested in environmental portraits. This is a portrait of my son Kevin, taken on a cold winter afternoon at the 2010 Army Navy Game in Philadelphia, PA USA. While he might argue differently, I think it's a great photo of Kevin. I think it's technically good and there's also the element of a little parental pride involved. Shot with a Nikon D90 and a Nikon 80-200mm f2.8D ED lens.
