That Texal is one freaky piece of glass. All the portraits are really well done Clay. I know you historically haven't shot many for your work but you should. Your photographic talents evidently don't really have boundaries and it would be shame to not include portraits as an expression of that.
Texval my ass. This was shot with a 110 f/2 that was working just fine until he took that picture of Matt. There was a loud cracking sound and now the lens looks like this. I gotta get me one of these...
