Wow - Dorrie and your photography are both fulfilling what I hoped for when you first showed a shot of her! Great stuff Bruce, and very well interpreted by Dorrie.

I had a difficult relationship with dear old Dad, who passed last November at 91. He could be autocratic and controlling, but he got me started into engineering, around which my entire career was built. And he had a way of pointing out uncomfortable truths. I will never forget that moment when, after proudly displaying a collection of my early best-of shots to him, with a note of disappointment in his voice he said, "but there are no people in any of these." That stung, but that implied question drilled into my head and refused to be dislodged until I gave in and promised myself to try shooting people. What a revelation that was! Unexpectedly it has made me a more confident person, especially dealing with women, a major part of the population I've never been able to look right in the eye for my entire life. So to get concrete: here are my latest retouches from my most recent studio shoot with Dorrie Mack, an art/life model. I can honestly admit that these were only made possible because of my father's blunt but innocent observation a few years ago.
