My Better Half !!!
My wife puts up with so much from me, it’s not even funny. She is however, my ( MUCH ) better half.
She has been very supportive of my being self employed ( even when it ran counter to common sense ), and has been my rock when I needed the support. She has also been a sounding board for new ideas; the good ones, the bad ones and yes, the really ugly ones too.
Early on, she put up with my being gone on the weekends shooting weddings twenty plus weekends out of the year, and also went on “monthly mini roadtrips” with me, when I was shooting for the HomeGuide. She has shared the concept of “job change” several times and helped me to embrace those “changes”, when it scared the hell out of me ( OK , us ).
Throughout all of my character building escapades, she has been there. For better or for worse, that’s what she said, almost 25 years ago.
Over the years, she has also put up with my requests to come sit for me at the studio. So that I may try out some new lighting style or “another” new piece of gear.
The very least that I could do, after all I have put her through, was to put up a great shot of her.
Here it is.
I hope that you approve. I know that I like it ( and she does too )!
For those of you that are interested, here is the lighting setup for the shot.

Beautiful portrait. It helps to have a patient wife, one who puts up with and supports our ever changing endeavors. I also appreciate your lighting set up key.
