I consider Flavio one of the GREATS on BP. What a treat is must have been to venture Rome with such a professional! In my early days on BP our paths crossed and I was honored that they did.

Patti, this image speaks so loudly of a man, of a person, who is free. Free to be what he wants to be and free to express himself. GOTTA LOVE THE FINGERNAIL POLISH! I love him even more after seeing that! HA!

Great encounter and job on this!!!

BRAVO!

-Laura :D

9/24/2010 2:03:52 AM

Unlike Danny, I love this guy's plaid pants! Can't say I care much for the top though ... and definitely not on him! Regardless of what he is wearing, he is truly expressing himself through his music! ... and you captured that beautifully, Patti! Excellent colour, clarity and detail! Awesome work! :)

9/24/2010 1:22:58 PM

Excellent capture; a slice of life encounter frozen in time...well done.

9/24/2010 2:26:24 PM
