Just a quick post on this portrait because I am jamming to finish a couple of magazine projects before I head out of town for a working vacation — to the wedding of a friend in Cartagena. Vive los novios!<\/p>\n

The magazine wanted a picture for Father’s Day and we found Greg Snowden, the owner of a local green building materials company<\/a>, and his three sons.<\/p>\n
