A friend once told me that he sees me with a camera all of the time but he has never seen a single photo. I did not know what to tell him as answers like - "check my flickr account" were getting a little tired at this point. 
So I came out with a photo book of portraits, which contains carefully selected shots from the year 2008. 
It's a small format squared book that I give to people while I take photos of them. It's a good icebreaker and my subjects love to see where the upcoming shot might appear in the near future (they also appreciate the free gift :)
Anyways, these are pretty much the photos in that book.

All shot with Hasselblad 500C/M with 80mm T* Zeiss lens
