Timeless
I realize that a lot of my pictures are very trendy looking, what with the fancy editing and fashion and what have you. Looking at some of the truly classic portraits from some of my favorites like Avedon, I needed to get back to the basics of what makes a good portrait. What inspired me was an old polaroid of my dad at my age, shirt off and cigar in hand in the woods, smiling away. I could practically taste the case of beer just out of frame.
So here we are, at the dried Boise River riverbed a hop, skip, and jump away from my place. I wanted a neutral palette, neutral clothes, and a neutral expression. Because 60 years from now when my grandchildren are looking through these pictures, I want them to be able to relate. And if I could go back in time 60 years, I would want my own grandparents to relate to this picture.
