I'm still having problems with pictures resizing incorrectly when I post to the site. If you click on the pictures you can see how they should look :)

Rick, how do you get so much light on their faces? Is it reflected light? Are they all shot in sunlight? How do you keep the sharp shadows off of them? Will you have to kill me if you tell me? :)

Well I need ideas and thoughts on how best to share these images (if I were to do that). I've thought about approaching local restaurants/smaller galleries to see if they are interested in putting prints on the walls. If I did a book and donated ALL proceeds to a charity could I then publish it without model releases? Go to local magazines and see if they have interest/advice...

I really need my Nikonite's friends input and ideas here on what to do next with the best images of the Street Portrait project. Do I start now or wait as it's only June with 5 1/2 months to go on this project 365 :) Or do I just share them with you my Nikonite's friends and keep shooting just because it's something that I just plain like to do....

What do I call it; Faces of Los Angeles, I Am L.A., The Real Faces of Hollywood, People of L.A. - Planet Earth .... What do I even call it?

Thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated....

I shoot outdoors preferably in open shade but lately is pretty bright out so in that case I look for that small spot of sidewalk or street that offers open shade and hope to get a good expression in that exact spot. I shoot in "S" mode at /250 or higher. I set the exposure to +.3 or +.7. Then the magic of "Adobe" PP can help on shadows if needed and the image is worth the time to play with.
