I'm only a 1/4 of the way through your photos. I had to stop at this one for a second longer--I wanted to study the values. What I really like is the strong contrast in your B&W photos. And, I wish I had been the one to take SO MANY of these--only because, wow, they scream reference for a large drawing...this one has everything--perfect angle of his face, every dark and light value in his gray hair and beard, his skin, too! This really WOULD make an excellent reference photo for a drawing.
But to sum it up---Your portraiture is beautiful. It's evident that you KNOW PEOPLE. Glad to see that.
