I think that you don't know them allows you to focus in on what you see and then sense from them. I can see such a learning curve here in a dedicated series to one subject and congrats to you for sticking to it.Kathy Cousarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953673216135274293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2841053612960587338.post-10983019708805533922011-09-01T15:39:43.635-05:002011-09-01T15:39:43.635-05:00Your response is wonderful.

This portrait is especially great, I am amazed that you got so much clear information on such a small panel. I probably asked you that question because I was on a jury not long ago. The defendant's defense was mental illness. In the end, I was the only one who voted "not guilty". We were told not to consider our feelings for the defendant in our final verdict (only facts). I think I did use facts only, but I was the only one who saw it the way I did. I am in awe of people who devote themselves to helping others in prison. I would like to do it...but I know I can't. I like your series a lot, because in a small, but grand way..your portraits pay homage to the people who lost their way. It seems..........oddly respectful :)<br />Thanks again for the shout out.Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2841053612960587338.post-392493864617485492011-09-01T11:21:17.624-05:002011-09-01T11:21:17.624-05:00Beautifully written.
