Here I am taking reference photos for my Portrait Project on Great Cranberry Island. The seven islanders my Photo-Journalist partner, Becky Buyers-Basso, and I contacted were so very gracious. They let me sketch and take reference photos for my linoleum prints, and answered Becky's questions for the story she will write to go with each portrait in a forthcoming exhibition. Becky and I are Residents with the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation on the Island. The Foundation brings artists from all over the country to the island. The artists are inspired by the landscape/seascape of the island, but I want to capture the other part of the picture...the People! And I will.
