Last week I turned in my Portraiture Project for Photography – the goal was to take individual pictures that told a story about the subject. Initially I only photographed N and my folks (during their visit) – but eventually worked up the gumption to ask complete strangers. Slightly scary, but as time passed, I was more comfortable with it. I made all the pictures B&W – I love this medium, and feel like there’s a timeless quality to it. Oh well – that, and I’m a sucker for Ansel Adams.
MRI scheduled for Thursday morning – keeping my fingers crossed for good results!
PS – Obviously I need to spell check my watermarks – many apologies. Yes, I do realize that “Phogography” and “Photography” are different. Not enough time to fix it…. creative spelling will have to remain!

Asking this guy was probably the hardest for me - I think he thought I was angling for his #. I just liked what his shirt said.

I love waking up with this guy - every time he's home, I feel extremely lucky. And he was a good sport.
I love watching N eat cereal. He eats in the same way he did when a small boy. Does my heart good. Great photos and love seeing your folks pix.
Oh my God Marit, these are amazing. I love those of your parents. I wish you could take some of Shaun.
A magic child, a beautiful, precious daughter, an extraordinary adult. It’s your insight that commands your photography, and your soul that commands your brain. When your amazing body tries to set your limits – YOU MAKE YOURSELF HEARD, and push those limits. You are my hero, I love you so much; I q am beyond blessed to be your mother.
