"Notable Cityzens" from Setubal is a new series of people's portraits who have been important nationally or/and internationally. António Manuel de Almeida Serra has been my class mate since we were 10 years old. :)

What an amiable fellow, your friend, Antonio!

I see a man who enjoys what he does and your company. Would I be wrong in imagining he also savors wine from the rarer Ramisco vines of the Colares region with steak cooked close to rare!

Edited the jpeg of this one with my tablet's Photoshop Touch. It's starting to grow on me. =)

Adrian,

Lively warm talented and charming ladies, presumably the same wonderful person! They all contribute to this impression, but my favorite is the last one. I'd look to the possibility of getting more detail in the hair and a tad of brightness in the face and eyes.

Portrait of a young man in Srinagar, Cashmere - India.
The portrait of the tourist guide is just a very simple one... nothing peculiar or exquisite: trivial.

Rob,

This is wonderful and so French! Great catch! Now fresh bread and a sleepy man at 7:00 am!

Chris,


For your own family, your hand adds the extra component of love. Allowing in the sparse punctate color of the purple flowers on the left, gives and extra sparkle that seems to balance the details of their smiles.

My friend, Shaye Taylor (more like a little sister to me) out on a local street corner where she plays the piano and sings for passers-by. What a wonderful young woman! So much beauty and talent.
