covered a little press event with the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke. His ability to change interest rates with a single breathe make some say he’s even more powerful than the President. I just saw a man who wasn’t allowed to make any real expression. Apparently every single thing he does is analyzed as an indication of how our economy is doing. 
the man with no expression
That’s really beautiful stuff!
Wow, great stuff. Good composition and you did get some good expressions even though he has no expression :p.
Great coverage as always, Sam. Love the very last one.
Those look great! That’s funny about his expression, but I am sure it’s true that he can’t.
I love stuff like this. So completely different than a wedding but yet just as moving. 🙂
great shots. I love how you frame every single photo. awesome story telling as well.
Great photo-journalistic work, shows how much emotion can be conveyed when a good artist creates the photos, even of a man who has no expressions.
You caught him with a couple of smiles at least. Terrific work – really like the black and white images that you mixed in.
Great photos, I love your post processing, I have no idea how you do it, but keep doing it!
Your compositions are absolutely compelling, great documentary work here.
Great coverage… there is a twinkle in his eyes in a couple of the pics 🙂 I’m curious as your post processing but it’s great!!
It takes a true artist to create beauty in a seemingly normal environment. You have incredibly interesting and inspiring work here, very well done.
Great post and some great shots Sam. His lack of expression was even getting a little comical for me towards the end. How can someone be such a blank slate? Great work. The first shot’s lighting is perfect.
Great photojournalistic work here. I love the post production…everything looks so natural. Very well done.
thanks all 🙂 and yeah…it’s surprising how dramatically things can change when you shoot thru stuff. the first shot is shot between a tripod and a guy standing. really darkened the sides and made the photo ultra dramatic
Wow, you really did a great job on these! I feel like they should be in Newsweek or something.
Great work! I really love your processing. 🙂
That’s some gorgeously simple post work.
