1: girl, bivona
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.

My inner copy editor and my photographer self had opposite reactions to seeing this message on a bridge railing. The photographer self won.

desperate cases and a broken vase
A votive with St. Jude (patron saint of lost causes) guards a broken vase and some dried-up roses, which are themselves a bit of a lost cause.

methodist light
One of the (many)(very many) things I will almost always photograph is a shadow cast on a rough wall by a light fixture. And in this case, I spotted this from a block away and walked my photographer self right there, right up the church steps, to get the shot.
