I was on a trip to Tallinn (Estonia) with a few fellow camera enthusiasts. As a result of the nature of the trip, you will see these gentlemen in some of the pictures. If you find these portraits not to be to your liking, I’d rather want you to ascribe those failings to my lacking skills in portrait photography, rather than being the result of any essential qualities of the subjects of said photos.
