This is Jojo. Jojo is visiting the United States from the Philippines, I told him I have a friend in the Philippines. Does he look familiar to you Whalelight? He doesn't have a job because his U.S. Visa won't allow him to work.

  3. I don't know him but his story sounds familiar. It can be hard when one wants to work but can't because of regulations. He does look cold, maybe extra cold coming from the tropics. I love your theme, Rick, you take beautiful pictures of people and get to connect with them even for just a little while.

  4. Your theme is absolutely phantastic. You really manage to capture the essence of your subjects (and you are doing well chosing them).

    Kudos.

  5. Did comment on this one but it's gone to hyperspace.
    I love his deep brown eyes, and am liking all you stories to go with the faces too.

  6. I like how you seem to connect and gain confidence with your models to create the portrait. The green in the background fits the colourscheme of your model very well.
