Living Legends Portraits

Back in January we had this idea for a project to photograph some elderly members of our community and today we started the photography.  The goal was for Chance to talk to them as I photographed them from a distance instead of just sitting on a stool in front of a background.  One good thing about doing it this way was that they didn't even feel like they were being photographed.  It was a very moving experience for both of us, and we heard some great stories.  These were some really amazing people and they have seen a lot of history and had some great stories to tell.  We will be going back tomorrow afternoon and again next Tuesday and I don't think I have ever looked forward to any session more than these.
