OH MY GOSH - I think these are the last thing on earth I expected to find when I clicked on your link - crazy!

Classic poses though ;) Good shots! Giving any to him?

Holy cow!

HA! Every time I am there, I am taking pictures of him in my head. I brought my camera today, and did my best to shoot his expressions with out making him too self conscious(?). There were some classic expressions that I simply missed, but I think I got a few. He asked if he could see them sometime...I said sure.

My favorite is the last one, very much so! I imagine you threw him off a bit when you arrived with camera, but it's cool you got these shots, I'll save them for myself. He's been such a help to me :)

I love the series! It conveys so much of his personality and even though I don't know anything at all about him, I have a sense of his passion and gentle spirit.

Jeff Reeder said...

Thanks Sandie. I don't like to put a whole of of explanation out there with my pictures. I love to hear what other people see, just from looking at the pictures. It is nice to see what comes through. You definitely got him.

He has such an expressive face! I especially like the second one, where you can feel how deeply he is connected...a true listener.

Great series! Wonderful hands.

Sandy said...

I'm curious about George.....:)

Here's my observations - he's very expressionate w/ his face and hands, he's a good listener, he's a good conversationalist.

So did you just hold the camera up and take pictures while talking to him (or while he was talking)? It looks like he talked right through it.

Jeff Reeder said...

I told him about what I was doing when we sat down, and warned him that I may just start taking pictures. I asked him to just ignore the camera. The first few times he stopprd and smiled/posed, but I told him to just keep on doing what he was doing. Eventually he got used to the camera. He is definitely those things that you mentioned. I'm glad that came through.

This series makes me smile and feel warm inside. What a kind man he must be. Love his face and the way his brow crinkles up when he's listening. He's so very expressive. He does use his hands!

I so enjoyed this series that I came back to look again today.

I just noticed the post-its on the lamp behind him. At first, I thought they were part of the lamp :-).
