I just read your tribute to auto focus, and this short on avatar portraits was short, sweet and to the point. The articles prompted me to visit your web page-- you do beautiful work! I'm trying to break into family/portrait photography here in CNY and I'd love to ask you a few questions-- like what sort of direction you give your subjects and how you go about location scouting. If you had a few minutes to share some tips I'd love to shoot you an email! Thanks again for sharing! Martha Natalie, I love your articles!

I have no studio lighting so I lit the scene with 3 desk lamps and placed the camera on my computer desk shelf, resulting in the unusual angle for the portrait. I now use it for various sites like twitter, flickr, smugmug, etc. [eimg link='http://www.flickr.com/photos/markdavisphotography/4176094919/' title='sSelfPortrait' url='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2572/4176094919_9b94e38054_o.jpg'] I took this self portrait for a local camera club’s self portrait challenge.

What do you want to show about yourself? What you look like, how creative you are, how funny your are? It's up to you. Notice I don't have an avatar for this site. One of these days, Alice.
