Play - at Work

Chris is my new bike mechanic, an upbeat happy guy! He told me he worked with bikes as a kid and "repped" bikes but had other "real" jobs until his current partner asked him why on earth he wasn't doing what he loved! So he is and has been and the internet says he is the best in the city of Seattle! I agree. Would have been good to get the bike part out of his left cheek to our view - but his smile so engaging, and he is working, not posing!

And I want to say how I appreciate all the positive replies on my portrait of Traci on blip before this - I am kind of feeling my way with portraits and the feedback is appreciated. She says she will use this for a portfolio she has to put together so that is cool.
