Hi Nick and Bong You said it much nicer than I did Bong. But maybe the portrait has to be good because it is made with a Canon 85mm 1.8mm lens? Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
Anyway Nick, I really wish you all the best with your starting business. I really like some of your photos in your blog, especially the portraits and the cats. I hope you can think about some of the advice you have been asking for and get here for free. Back to Pentax topics.....

If you do keep your photo out there, have one that shows a gritty hardened photojournalist (or at least something "macho" looking...whatever that means).
