Eric, thanks for your refreshing pictures. I like them a lot. You seem to treat and picture your models as if they didn't have any disabilities. It's the way we should always treat them. Apart from that: very well executed. I wish I could make portraits like that

thoughtful and thought provoking work very well executed. Thanks.

These are wonderful. I like this one the best. Wish I knew what these guys were thinking / talking about.

Eric - once again - a great shot. I was "sort of" kidding in my last post. I think the point I was making was to challenge the notion of "the disabled" as a category of people. What do we see when we view your pictures? certainly not this mystical single entity that "The Disabled" points to, but a series of individuals, who may or may not have disabilities. And, owing to the fact that their lack of ability is caused by disturbances in the development of the mind/ learning, then the label is even more ambiguous as the pictures deny all knowledge of the level of functioning the subjects have achieved in their lives - to very good effect. As I say, we see happy people.

It's a label that troubles me slightly, like The Elderly, or The Mentally Ill - sort of strips away individuality and the right to be oneself.

Really great pics Eric
