Port Prep Round 1

    For my portfolio preparation class, each student is to turn in a minimum of three images four times throughout the quarter. The goal is to make each image worthy enough to go into his or her final portfolio. These are the three images I presented to the class for our first critique. Enjoy!

    The two photos above and below are of my first cousin, twice removed (my grandma's cousin). His name is Steve and he lives in a cozy shack out in the woods of Northern Wisconsin. Steve is known for making beautiful wreaths from branches around his surrounding area, hence is nickname: The Wreath Man. Steve has a big heart of gold and it was truly an honor to capture him in his environment. Thank you Steve. 

    The next photograph is of a very special lady whom I have photographed in the past. Her name is Elsie Erbentraut and she is my great great aunt (my grandma's aunt). 

Elsie Erbentraut. Such an inspiring woman.
