Faces You May Recognize<\/h3>\n

In my earlier days I seldom travelled without a camera. Nowadays my cellphone camera is always nearby.<\/p>\n

So back to the “older times”. While attending trade shows, expos, concerts, sports games and other events I’ve had the opportunity to photograph “famous” people sometimes with a press pass and sometimes as a bystander.<\/p>\n

My collection of faces have grown over the years.<\/p>\n
