He wandered into my studio unannounced.
He willingly sat for my light testing. A client session would begin shortly.
It was Oct. 17, 2009.

Last minute scramble to submit my assignment of a David Eustace-inspired environmental portrait. Eustace has been referred to as Scotland’s secret weapon, the only non-American invited to participate in USA Network’s Photographic Celebration of America’s Characters.

My son Dave’s “In From the Cold” portrait reminded me of Eustace’s style in his Greene Street Project.
Voila! Homework done.

She Tried
My Mother
Today would have been my mother’s 95th birthday. She passed before I became a portrait photographer. Although she was a single working mother she managed to have professional portraits made. I have her to thank for the few childhood images I have today. Feliz cumpleaños Mami.
