Portrait Month

I’m a big fan of FDR’s “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” bit, and so I hereby announce that December is Portrait Month on my blog. Throughout the entire month of December—no time off for Hanukkah, Christmas, or Kwanzaa—I’ll be approaching at least one stranger every day and asking to make his portrait. I’ll post the daily results on this blog, for better or worse.

If time allows, I’ll also do some posting about portrait photographers whose work I respect, admire, dislike, or otherwise have a strong feeling about. No guarantees about that part, but I do guarantee a portrait a day.

Tune in, sports fans, to see the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Can you think of a more appropriate way to spend the holidays? Neither can I.
