this guy loves his boat. the next day his mate, that we also photographed (dom got a great pic of him) fell off his boat, was dead before he hit the water probably. Was a really old looking guy.

Again all great shots Heath.

You've really captured the feel of being there in some of these.

I think "chance Italian meeting in the street?" is especially good because it isn't as common a shot seen as your more traditional portraits.

Nice shots Heath, great collection. One of the nicest things about viewing these shots and your commentary, was to realise the joy you bought to some of these people by the simple act of taking their photograph.

you really seem to have a skill of capturing people being themselves. I am in awe of your ability to make your subjects feel at ease.

I am always too shy to get up close and in peoples face to take their photos but i suppose it is all about developing a rapport with them.

A face tells a thousand stories, your images have storytelling all over them so much depth. It's darn hard to get a technical and artistically measured shot at the spur of the moment.
The atmospherics in the swiss castle shot are just heavenly, you must of had the best time.

Wondering why most of these pics are framed square, were you recropping for best composition?

Thanks everyone. Wendell, the reason why I chose a square as the crop in most pics is that way I could upload a bigger picture. If it didn't work with the crop I didn't do it, but I wanted plenty of detail and size so I often cropped in on the areas of interest.

When I post images of this size, I don't like leaving them on the web for piracy concerns, so I will be deleting them, probably tonight...
