Hanging the Show


For the last several months I have been working on a project for the Port Washington Public Library.  I have been taking portraits of people holding objects from the library's collection of drawings and paintings that are meaningful to them.  Some of the subjects are people from the community, some are library staff or directors of the library.  There are text blocks for each of the subjects where they explain what the objects mean to them. The amazing part is that the finished portraits are 30 by 40 inches in size!  I have never made prints this size before.  This picture was taken on the day that all of the portraits were being hung for the exhibition.  You can see how large the prints are in this photo in comparison to the people in the photograph.
