A Face A Day

Woman Paying her Respects to a Fallen Solider in Washington, DC

I think I'm going to start a series of post called  "A Face a Day." This will feature photos of people that I have taken all over the world. The one question I get ask the most is what is my favorite subject to photograph and my answer is always "People," especially the the human face. Why? Because the face says a lot about a person, From sadness to joy, angry pain, loneliness, trustworthiness you get the point. Every expression imaginable can be found on the face of every human being.

Dia dos Namorados

Dia dos Namorados aka Valentines Day in Brazil. It was fun filled evening shooting all the happy couple that were in love. I had a great time interacting with all of them as one by one they came through the  line to have their portraits taken. May all the young couples who were recently married have many wonderful years ahead of them and be bless with many beautiful children. Amen.

Maria José, with her great big smile.

Sometimes while walking around looking for interesting thing or people to photograph I'll come across someone like this lady Maria José. To me the lines on her face told the story of a life that has been somewhat hard at times. She has five children that she hardly gets see and a husband that abandon her years ago. But, with all that she still manages to smile and has a great outlook on life. She actually made my day with her beautiful smile and kind words of "God bless you" as she left.
