The Window to the Soul; A Photostory


-

Travel photography has many aspects. When Deb and I travel most places are defined in some way or another by the people. Faces always have intrigued me because, as Shakespeare put it, “The eyes are the window to the soul”.

As I took these photo’s I believe that each pair of eyes offers a glimpse into the joys and hardships of each individuals life. It is amazing that with the click of a shutter you can relay such emotion. I hope you enjoy these photo’s as much as I did taking them.

    • Thanks Iain, I love portraits too. I enjoy interacting with people and learning about them. The more we speak, the better photo I can get. Each person has an interesting life and story.
