Drax, I really like this a lot! He looks so relaxed, and something about his expression hints at a great sense of humor just below the surface. Wonderful!

Thank you all!!!

Yes, he is a good guy and sometimes very funny. In the beginning he never wanted me to take some pictures of him (and that was for free). But after he saw me winning some contests and slowly attracting customers who wanted me to "shoot" them, he started calling me for some sessions (and now he pays).

I think he first called me for photo shootings after he saw a picture i took of his wife. He was so excited and so eager to tell about me to his friends and guests (now, that's what i call free publicity )

And one for the road:
