Was assigned to photo some Hurricane Evacuees to accompany a written article.
Only access I had was while they were being interviewed.

Thanks go to Leslie for giving me some advice. I felt more comfortable with her words of wisdom..

Very very nice Tom! You did a wonderful job on these! I really do like them.

[Elsaspet]

I love the second one Tom. It's beautiful.

[CaptainTom]

Thanks to both of you.
I have a new respect for the craft.
Taking a photo of a car, or of someone you can pose, can have its own challenges but
this sort of photography requires a different set of instincts. And, unlike wedding photography where you are capturing the moment, that moment is joy and to me is more easily recognized.

[Suz]

Its not easy capturing emotion, especially grief and sadness. Tom, you did a great job here, and the black and white images just add to what you are trying to show. I have noticed others in here who also prefer black and white for this type of image. These are outstanding Tom!!

[Odinhaus]

Wow, you certainly caught some emotion there...

Great photos.
