28 Faces, day 4

For me, a portrait is something from which you feel the person, their inner quality, what it is that makes them who they are.

28 Faces, day 3

There is one thing the photograph must contain – the humanity of the moment.

Hello and welcome to a project I am calling 28 Faces.

My photographic journey has gone places (literally and figuratively) that I never even imagined when I decided on a whim to start a photo blog in 2009. I’ve been so fortunate to have meet other photographers who’ve supported and encouraged me, who’ve led me further along the path as it evolves and meanders, who’ve seen potential that I was missing. It’s a fascinating journey.

Anyway, today begins a whole month of portraits.  And here’s a quote to get things started:

The most difficult thing for me is a portrait.

There are many things I find myself unable to explain. Killer Cuban dolphins are certainly on that list.
