The Project


So I have this really cool project I am working on for a local library.  It involves doing studio portraits of people from the town, each one of them holding one of the items from the library's collection.  Then they will write about the object and what it means to them.  The photographic prints will be 30" x 40" inches in size, and will hang in the library in an exhibit in September.  Why am I  photographed like this?  I did some lighting tests and when I was sure of the lighting, I stepped in and had my picture taken, the way the subjects will be photographed.  Of course I won't be in the exhibit.

  1. Wow! This is a win-win all around. You do a really nice thing for the library plus you get to meet some people showing interesting items from the library. I hope we get to see some photos...bsk

  2. Yeah, it is a really cool assignment. I photographed more people today, and had some really nice conversations with some of the subjects! How much fun it this! The exhibit will not be until September, but I will post some portraits then.
