As I’ve said, I’m choosing about my Portrait Gallery, I only admit people I love, like a lot, or respect deeply. Only about 15 people are in my gallery, and this morning, I went to the Cambridge Flower Shop to take a portrait (with my portrait lens) of Sue Lamberti, the co-owner of this charming flower shop. Sue is my angel; she has a remarkable instinct for what I like and need. She has been instrumental as a partner in my flower photography; she always has flowers waiting for me and has excellent suggestions. She has also become a good friend; I often stop in to talk with her; she is kind, funny, and honest and has worked like a demon to get her flower shop going.

She has made a huge difference in my flower work.

She has succeeded, and I am grateful for her friendship and honored to put her into my gallery. Her smile and love of flowers are very real. She is one of those people who lights up a room with her smile. Thanks, Sue, you are a wonderful friend. Much love, Jon
