oh shit! sorry for writing this but when I'm looking at your portraits I feel like I'm almost touching the soul. The history is within them. May I ask if you've used digital ?

Wow! it gets better and better. This and others that I have seen are expertly exposed images, could be large format productions and as others have said it earlier, hauntingly magnetic.
