Faces of Ghost Ranch

.
We had a little Halloween/Fall Festival party the other day here at Ghost Ranch. Of course, I took a ton of festive, colorful pictures. Then, when I got back to the rig and started looking at the pictures, I started seeing individuals instead of group shots. I decided to do some experimentation.

Longtime readers might remember that I payed a bit with portraits some time back, and that exactly where I went this time.

I love faces, and I particularly like shots of people taken when they aren't particularly aware of the camera. Some of these subjects may appear to be looking straight at the lens, but I was never closer than ten feet in any of these photos.

When I started playing with them in the computer, I found that, once again, I was drawn to black and white.

So, with the subjects permission, here are some of the Faces of Ghost Ranch.

So what do you think? I love these kind of shots and hope to be adding more portraits in the future.

Black and white is perfect and I really like the closeup head shots. You have captured a lot of personality in each one.
