PORTRAIT

Portrait was just edited this morning from an almost three year old photo. It was inspired by a gorgeous glossy book of color pictures of paintings I was looking at yesterday. All "modern" art, much of it totally non-representational and some of it so minimal as to leave me, well, uninterested. However, except for those few minimalist paintings (I've tried, I really have tried to appreciate minimalist art, I just can't) the book is a great treat. It now has yellow sticky notes flapping off its edges so I can readily find those I was most moved and intrigued by. What surprised me was how often I saw effects in those paintings that I have chased after in my photos, though often taken much further especially with human figures. Therefore, this photo today. By the way, in its original form this is of a friend.
