Sidenote:

There’s been a great conversation about portraiture in general on various photography blogs. Portrait of Many a post on my own blog, Personism is a good place to start. Also not to be missed, photographer Alec Soth’s post Portraits and Mug Shots post. (Don’t skip over the interesting conversation in his comments section!)
