what I love about your portraits is that they always seem ageless on the face of things (with more than a touch of the JMC about them - in a good way), then you notice the hint of the modern - a tattoo or a piercing. Makes for a wonderful dichotomy between the process and subject. Fantastic.
 
This reminds me of the work of Diane Arbus - faces with stories to tell. GREAT!

Cheers
TEX
