What's up everybody? Ted Forbes, welcome back to the art of photography.

And we're going to do something a little bit different today. We're going to do a little mailbag and about two weeks ago I went to go check my

PO box one day and I had three packages in there and they were all from people who watch the show that

were sharing their work with me. I have two books in a print and I thought this

was really cool and I emailed everybody and asked if I could share it on the show

and everybody was really excited about it and this is some really amazing stuff and I'm

really excited about this. First up I have a book and this was sent to me by Eduardo Torres and

Eduardo and I met at the very first Art of Photography Meetup we ever did, which was in London in I guess

2009. And Eduardo and I have been friends on Facebook and we've kept up here and there

over the years and he recently contacted me and I actually knew this was coming and he said that he had

finished a portfolio book on some of the portraits that he does and wanted to share it with me.

And I'm going to come back to in a second, but I love the cover on this.

It's just a very simple book.

It's very elegant, and he actually signed it and

numbered each one of these. So it's an addition of 50 and this is number 7 of 50.

And so I thought that was really cool. But Eduardo and I am familiar with his work

because we kept up online and he really color and does some really beautiful portraits.

And I think that they're very, kind of a,

they give a nod to Rembrandt and some of the past master

painting types of things.

But I think what makes Eduardo's work interesting to me at least is his wonderful sense of color

Which I think is outstanding. He uses these wonderful muted tones sometimes he does work in black and white
