“It’s extraordinary to look into a baby’s face and see a piece of your flesh and your spirit.”

What can I say? I often photograph unique personalities, wanderers and artists, musicians and random encounters on the street. I like vagabonds, the gritty and the homeless, the creative and the mad. But sometimes it’s refreshing to just look at an innocent face, a tabula rasa that hasn’t yet been marked by experience. ‘Portrait Month’ continues today with a smiling baby boy with some pretty remarkable eyes.

“Most of my photos are grounded in people, I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a persons face.”

“If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.”

“A person himself believes that all the other portraits are good likenesses except the one of himself.”
~Edvard Munch

Another image for ‘Portrait Month,’ this was done as a request by the subject, who desperately wanted his portrait taken, nude and masked, in the dingy back room of a dusty old gym with splintered wood floorboards, old rusty lockers, and split leather weight benches and a deflated speed bag. We assumed, since nobody was there, that the owner wouldn’t mind if we made some pictures.

“It’s not how a photographer looks at the world that is important. It’s their intimate relationship with it.”
~Antoine D’Agata

Portrait month continues with this cute little duo, taking a little break at the park.

“The severe portrait that is not the greatest joy in the world to the subject may be enormously interesting to the reader.”
~Irving Penn

This is a portrait of Laura, taken in the Rillito River wash during that bone-dry time before the monsoon rains.

“To sit for one’s portrait is like being present at one’s own creation.”
~Alexander Smith

Today we have a portrait of Danny Baker. It’s not about the model of the car or the year of manufacture – it’s the mileage, folks. And I think Danny has driven far and wide, through some rough terrain.

There will be few words or personal stories this month. Today marks the beginning of a month of portraits – some are street photographs, some improvised, and others from formal photographic sessions. Rather than press into these images my own stories, I would rather the faces speak for themselves.

I hope you enjoy that images to follow. But for now, we’ll kick things off with a beautiful woman – it never hurts to start things off with a beautiful woman…
