    This was taken 11 years ago during  a photo session with Susan and Haley in Old Town.  I was new to digital, as well as portraits, so it was a good learning experience.  Learning continues today as I shot but also as I look back through the archives checking lighting, composition, pose and EXIF data. I found a handful of good poses and expressions that are not usable due to shutter speeds of 1/5 of a second. Hopefully that would not happen today.
