I've been thinking about portraits a lot lately. am working on a book (number 64, you know, from the list). I've been thinking and looking. compiling. then thinking, looking, thinking some more. I'd like to make more portraits. I don't ever want to stop, really. if I could, I'd go back in time and take a polaroid portrait of my mom. but I can't. I can't think about that anymore, I just can't so instead I'll concentrate on the photographs I do have of her. and so maybe that's another book I'll have to make.

in other news (in perhaps the most belated news), the top photograph was featured over at the impossible project as the 'roid week gallery winner way back in august. but august was rough and so (thrilled as I was) it was a special honor that sort of went quietly unnoticed. I think I can celebrate it now. I think maybe I'm at a point where I can finally celebrate. just a little.

more polaroid portraits here.

    JEREMY! My most favorite and fun, bearded friend! One of my very closest friends from college. I'm so glad you know each other...I assume from church? So weird to think that my friends still keep making new friends (even each other) in my absence. Weird in the best, most lovely sense. Hope you are healing and thriving, friend.

    Beautiful! I rarely take Polaroid portraits but I do have one of each of my kids that I just enlarged and framed. Thank you for the reminder to keep shooting the faces I love.

    These are all wonderful. I'm dying over Ava's hat. Plus, that's the best, most Susannah-ish portrait I've ever seen of her.
