Portraits

I'm not much of a portrait person.  Neither taking or getting taken.  But one of the photo sites I frequent is doing "portraits" as the theme for March.  It got me thinking, and I decided to look through the archives and find a few portraits.  So here's a few from the past 50 years.  All natural light, most "candid", or unposted.

Mikayla Joy in 2023.  Mikayla is part of the singing duo Jake and Mikayla.  They were our Church's Praise Band for a couple of years (and I played bass), and they came back for a show in 2023.

My son in 2018, when he was graduating high school.  He didn't want "professional" Senior Portraits, but his mom convinced him to let me take some photos, and some of one of his friends.  It was actually fun, and I wasn't unhappy with the results

 My grandson in 2021.  He did not want me to take his photo this day, so he started making faces.  Which did not deter me!

My friend Kathy in 1981.  This was taken when we were in college.  I haven't seen Kathy since a New Year's  party in 1984 or 1985.  I wonder how she's doing?

My Friend Greg circa 1978.  Late High School.  Somebody else I haven't seen since at least 1980.  Though we emailed a few times a few years ago.

My friend Ned in 1975.  I was trying to get a "jaded businessman having a drink after a long day at work".  Of course, we were both 14 at the time...  but it was fun.
