Portrait: My Brothers Part 2

family,portrait work | January 2nd, 2010

I took a portrait of each of my brothers while visiting home this winter.  This trip was a supposed conclusion – 2 years later – to what I first mentioned in this post.  I found out though, that nothing is ever actually concluded.  The expanse behind what we realize is infinite.  Think of it as a movie stage facade on a clear cold morning with an unknowable and unending landscape falling behind it to a dark horizon line, to where your imagination ends.  And I’d wonder at anyone who does not stop in awe of this notion, of this incredibleness of existence.

  1. These are very very good. Especially that first one. It’s so real.

    I’ve noticed a lot of your portraits seem to be personal and of people in your life, like family and friends, I really appreciate this, it shows a love for them and for photography.
