Portraits


I think it was Samuel Johnson who said that true creativity lies not only in making new things familiar, but familiar things new. So I confined myself to CUA's campus, around the Shrine and Michigan Avenue, and somehow landed in Gibbons. I went looking for portraits -- landscapes bored me, but the faces of friends did not. It's great when you catch people mis-en-scene, completely unaware that a photographer has found them in a perfect pose until the camera flashes. Those are the moments that will never come again
