mr b3th studied photography for six years back in the 70s.
His portraits are stunning. That's one thing I can't do, though - I like to take pictures of 'things'. I don't know if that's to do with innate lack of skill, or just because I haven't learned the right techniques.

photography isn't all innate skill and magic techniques
it's about looking at the world differently, about imagination and artistry and things. Also, practise - I remember you did that photo a day thing and you were getting much better

Portraits are fun
I've got a couple of the missus that I'm pretty happy with. Shallow depth of field, nice lighting etc.

It helps that she's not a pig, of course.

Although I've got a photo of an actual pig that I like better than the portraits of her, to be fair.
