I think Kevin has an unfair advantage: his pro photographer wife.
I’m not exactly sure what advantage she is conferring, but I feel nonetheless slighted by his rugged yet gentle portraits.
Is this a man-crush?

Perhaps you should start Darwin challenge for women. Some would appreciate not shaving their legs for a few months.

I was going to say the Pro-Photography was an advantage, too! I want my face shots to look that nice… no fair!
