So yesterday I was able to shoot a few portraits of one of my baristas. Yes, they’re all are mine! She has done some modeling so what a gift to photograph her. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.

I was wondering
Jamie I’ve read where every photograph is intended to express everything about the subject whether that’s nature, street or portraits. Not sure I am able to do that with portraits, yet. This is an image of a flight attendant I worked with back in 2009. Today I was wondering where she is in life, who she is today. I wonder what sort of portrait I’d see of her today.
The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. It’s a question mark you put on somebody. Trying to say, “Who is it? What does it amount to? What is the significance of that face?” The difference between a portrait and a snapshot is that in the portrait, the person has agreed to be photographed.

The face…
“The face always reveals the soul; it is where the divinity of the inner life finds an echo and image. When you behold someone’s face, you are gazing into that person’s life.”

Inquisitive Minds
Had the honor of shooting some portraits of 17 month old twins on Monday. I love how the inquisitive mind of this young lady is checking everything out. She was fascinated by the eagle then discovered the water left from an earlier sprinkling of the garden. And, had almost no interest in me.

Tired of my landscapes?
Seven years ago I attended a workshop in Denver on portraiture. This lovely woman was one of the two models we were able to work with. Technically I like the outcome of this image but her expression, that smile, glancing look, is what makes this image work for me. And, she’s beautiful! Anyway, I decided to post this image because I don’t want anyone thinking I only shoot distant horizons of sunrises and sunsets, or latte art or fountain pens and journals. 😂

A Ray of Sunshine
“A person’s beauty is sophisticated and sacred and is far beyond image, appearance or personality.”
John O’DonohueI’m thinking, ya gotta be tired of my landscape images from the Natural Areas, so I thought I’d post an image of Katie taken eight years ago. She’s not a sunrise but she is a beautiful ray of sunshine. Yes, I know, there I go thinking again!
