In some way I wanted to show the artists by not showing them. What I mean is that I was really focusing on their hands, their tools, etc. I thought about portraits, and shots as you described but decided to take a different approach. I probably should have taken both types of shots and made that decision in the editing. Of course, its never too late - these guys are *extremely* nice and a lot of fun to hang out with. > Hope this helps. You have definitely made a few fine photos and the > start of a good essay.
