[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]so i have some models over yesterday and in between shooting one of them says "hey, can i see your book?" and i'm like "sure", proud to show off my personal portfolio, which origionally i was keeping in an expensive binder with matted images, but lately i've been just keeping 8x10's in a flat pratt book, which is easier to carry in my briefcase, and a lot easier to keep current, and dang if i couln't FIND the thing, i looked all over the house and my portfolio was awol. which was kind of annoying, since i keep it up-to-date.... however, i've been keeping alternate "themed" portfolios in a less nit-picking format -- 12 or 24 page presentation binders with laser prints relating to some particular theme or other (my Republican National Convention shots are all in one, my goth portraits are all in one, a bunch of Emily shots are all in one). So i did have some of those around, but not my best work in its best form. i'll have to start keeping that thing in the same place all the time. a portfolio buried under the mail on a coffee table is as good as a portfolio you never made when someone asks to see it.... kc
