a great site for portrait photography

http://www.portrait-photos.org i found this site jumping from blog to blog randomly. the quality of work is very good. i especially like the portraits of children and of the regular joes. amazement, joy, and hope are all captured in the children's photos and a beautiful realness is captured so well in the regular joes' photos. i was put off with one thing however. and that was the glamour portraits. i don't really like looking at them because i'm bombarded by them throughout the day. but to their credit, i can see the beauty that is trying to be portrayed. perhaps the biggest draw for me to this site is the magnitude at which the beauty is portrayed in the portraits? there's some really good stuff there. do have a look. cheers . . ..

you can be honest, scottie. Everyone knows you don't like to look at the glamour shots because you're surrounded by them daily- when people fuss you up and take your photo. I've seen the negatives...you don't have to pretend that you don't have your own glamour photo shoots... :)
