Weekly Post | Portraits

Once again, a project that was incredibly challenging and endlessly rewarding.  All of my pictures were taken hand-held and with only available and natural light.  I found that some of my pictures that were taken on a whim in a shutter-clicking frenzy turned out to be my favorites.  I took each of the photos into camera raw for some basic editing, and then moved the ones that required a little extra help into photoshop.  I found that by processing ALL of the photos in raw before taking them into photoshop gave my eyes a break and I decided on several that they didn't need more help.

Please click each photo and view it larger.  The optimizing that my blog seems to do to each one of my photos makes them all look pretty terrible in this view.
