I shot this image as a detail from a student drawing I came across hanging in a hallway.
The idea of the portrait is of interest relative to my "image not available" concerns. Is the portrait a "reminder" of the subject of the portrait? A memento? With this in mind I am thinking about the souvenir. Somehow the souvenir, an artifact of an experience, has meaning beyond the image/object itself. What is more important, the image/object or the experience?
