I decided to explore a gritty, cinematic Western aesthetic for this fun portrait! It captures me in a moment of stoic reflection, wearing a weathered cowboy hat and a heavy leather jacket. The lighting creates deep shadows that really highlight the rugged textures of my beard and the fabric, bringing out that timeless, resilient spirit of the American frontier. It is a cool nod to the classic, serious cowboy look.

This is a portrait in loving memory of my beautiful wife, Dawne. This picture perfectly captures her unbreakable spirit, those bright, piercing blue eyes, and the amazing strength she carried with her every single day. She is gone but will absolutely never be forgotten. She was my rock, my true partner, and my whole heart. Rest in peace, my love.
