I love the way these photos are taken. They're done in such a way that it makes it feel real, a frozen moment in time. I love it!

Very interesting.

These are just stunning! All of them remind me of 'The Godfather'....looks like Marlon Brando should just be strolling up the street.

Thanks, Veronica. You can practically hear the first chords of 'Harlem Nocturne'.
