Nice portret, like the b&W but ... I miss the top of his nose ... must be painful! :))

@Monique: Thanks Monique - I appreciate your thoughts. it was a deliberate choice. Odd I know, but I enjoy playing around with different framings and I liked this one... it's symbolic of the subject being more than what's in the frame - I need the viewer to imagine his "tip" !! :))
What a very moody profile...I can imagine the notes and melody swimming around in his head

@jen: Great jen - that's what I hope for. When he was small I took him to the movies once and afterwards asked how he enjoyed it - he looked stunned and said - "I don't know - I was writing music!!"
He missed all of highschool with anxiety/panic attacks but managed college and is now studying at uni. He had a letter today from his university which said he had a grade point average above distinction level "you are now one of the top performing students in one of the top ranking universities in the world" wow! not bad for a dear little fellow with a head full of beauty!! :))
Absolutely gifted shot, Bron!! Amazing in b&w, and really like the focus on the ear actually…certainly evokes the sense that the one way we could get inside his mind is through there!! :)

@Rebecca: Gifted is just too kind Rebecca - mind you I love it!! haha Thanks! And your comment and focus on his ear is interesting because a s a musician it's his favourite sense!
A very fine portrait; would be right at home on an old 33 1/3 album cover, or a cd case (today).

@Viewfinder: Thanks Viewfinder I remember the old 33 1/3 days! (giving my age away) Sam has several solo tracks and might publish a cd of them one day so I'll suggest it
