Hello,

The actual work of capturing, collecting , acquiring of portraits continues, as well as the development of the project, and its message and meaning explored from the intention(s) of the subject (self portrait)  and its audiencing.  After seeing Luttrell’s presentation last week, I am ever cautioned of recognizing the impossibility of erasing the researchers positionality from the work, and yet I am encouraged that even so, the work and its goals can be met, and my role and influence be made transparent and addressed in a manner that honors the intent of the work.

As Lamar asked in his post, I have asked my subjects to consider and reflect on their art and its implicit personal narrative, versus what they think someone experiencing their art/image might derive without any additional information/knowledge

.

I have two new images to share,  and look forward to meeting with you all  tomorrow.
