[Leica] The Eye Contact Portraits

[Tina Manley]

Thanks, Jayanand.  I did hire an editor to help me edit my B&W photos of
Honduras.  Maggie Steber spent a week with me editing down 50,000 photos to
12 which I used for my Blurb book Las Familias.  I also attended a workshop
by her and Eugene Richards on editing.  I'm pretty good at editing other
people's work but not mine!

I'm not worried about it, though, since I'm just having fun going through
all of my photos and finding ones where people make eye contact with me.
It's almost like I'm traveling again!

;-)
