		Some of my better portraits were taken on a trip to Alaska and back because I had 3.5 months in which to be alone and learn to appreciate the value of a stranger's company and conversation.
		I have observed through the years that the formula for a good portrait requires that the "permission" of the subject be in equal or greater measure to the "presumption" of the photographer.
		A good portrait, of course, will exhibit good light and composition, but if it is to capture the imagination of anyone not related to the subject, it will exhibit passion and respect.

	The Selective Narrative: A Figurative Tour of the National Portrait Gallery
		To tour the National Portrait Gallery is to tour its version of American history, a drama with glory counterbalanced by despair as seen in the faces of its heroes and the lingering images of those excluded, left outside history's gate.
		The National Portrait Gallery's narrative of American history is a balance between the voices of the powerful and previously powerless, and that narrative is influenced greatly by the practical constraits which any museum must consider.
		Pocahontas’ portrait tells the literal story of European dominance over Native American life in the "new world." There is a certain irony in the fact that across from the "Colonial America" gallery is another gallery dedicated to "Native Americans" in which the artistic filtration process seems politically motivated in a different manner.
