Ta da…….It’s MMC Week 21!
For this week I’ve chosen to display my husband in all his glory. It was his birthday last week and I snapped a photo which I thought looked pretty good in B&W. I hardly ever take people photos as you know, but I thought I’d try something different this time.
Check out the gallery at Leanne Cole’s Blog later today. I always look forward to seeing what everyone does. 🙂
Happy Birthday!

Thank you 🙂

What a fabulous photo !!!!!!
Happy birthday.
You are so lucky to have so much love in your life.
Gavin.

Thank you Gav! I liked that got him unaware of the camera. I am lucky….that should be my mantra. hugs
July 22, 2014 at 3:15 am
Good capture Laura. 🙂
July 22, 2014 at 6:45 am
Thanks so much 🙂

Does your husband mind having his picture taken? My wife usually pitches a small fit at first, but then knows that I won’t put a bad phot of her out in the world. Nice shot – we don’t see too many portraits in the MMC.
July 22, 2014 at 6:46 am
He doesn’t mind but if he’s smiling for a photo it’s not the best lol. I like this one because he’s unaware of the camera. I like most people photos when they are unaware the camera is there. Thanks for the props on the shot. I’m really not a portrait photographer but once in awhile I like to try. 🙂
July 22, 2014 at 12:32 pm
Me either, but sometimes it does work out.
July 22, 2014 at 4:55 am
Wonderfully done Laura! This reminds me of a book cover or movie poster. He’s a good lookin dude…. love the framing.
July 22, 2014 at 6:47 am
Thank you Shane 🙂 He is a handsome guy. I had fun cutting off parts of his head while I was framing it lol! Gawd I hope people see the humor in that statement.
July 23, 2014 at 5:49 am
Haha, I’m sure they will.

July 22, 2014 at 5:11 am
Love the smile…
July 22, 2014 at 6:47 am
GRINS 🙂 Thank you.
July 22, 2014 at 5:22 am
Yes, well done! I have to do dome convincing to get a shot of my husband too but he’s getting better knowing there will always be a camera around. ❤
July 22, 2014 at 5:23 am
*some*
July 22, 2014 at 6:48 am
oh lol…I didn’t even see that!
July 22, 2014 at 6:48 am
Thank you Hannah. My hubby is definitely not used to the camera being pointed at him nor would he expect it since I rarely take shots of people. Glad I snuck this one in. 🙂
July 22, 2014 at 5:39 am
That’s a great photo!
July 22, 2014 at 6:51 am

July 22, 2014 at 2:27 pm
Thank you sabbyj 🙂 I appreciate it!
July 22, 2014 at 4:09 pm
I love people photos. This is terrific dear. Now about that knee/leg comment you left on Mick’s blog….
July 22, 2014 at 5:51 pm
Thank you 🙂 Oh THAT. Yeah, I’ll be making an “announcement” just before I leave. I don’t mind telling people here and there right now. I’ll be gone for awhile as far as posting pics. Hope I will still be following blogs here but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to start doing that. I’m getting a bit tired of surgeries. But it has to be done. Thanks for asking. 🙂
July 23, 2014 at 6:41 pm
I hope it is nothing too serious dear. Don’t be a stranger and keep in touch.
July 23, 2014 at 11:04 am
I’ve been seeing exceptionally nice portraits today. There must be a theme of some sort. 🙂
July 23, 2014 at 11:12 am
It’s cosmic!!!
July 23, 2014 at 11:56 am
Happy Birthday to your husband! Nice shot. 🙂

Thank you so much Elen 🙂
July 24, 2014 at 6:27 pm
You are a much better portraitist than you give yourself credit for being, Laura! But it does help to be in love with your subject—it shows! Splendid shot. Good looking guy. Lucky both of you! 😉
Xoxo to you and Happy Birthday to your spouse!
Kathryn
July 24, 2014 at 6:32 pm
Thank you so much Kathryn :))))

It is a great capture, I believe best portraits are those that are spontaneous.
July 25, 2014 at 7:04 am
Thank you. I don’t know much about portrait photography, but I’ve always liked them best when they are spontaneous. Is that a category of portrait photography? I don’t even know! lol
July 25, 2014 at 8:52 am
Fabulous portrait and great toning.
July 25, 2014 at 2:51 pm
Thank you Simon 🙂
