American Stories...Flag Portraits

Inspired by an American flag purchased at an antiques barn, I shot a series of portraits during the 2004 presidential election campaign.  Each subject was asked to hold the flag in a way that was personally meaningful. The resulting portraits remain some of my favorites and the series, AmericanStories, has special resonance for me once again this election season. 

I'll be blogging a number of these portraits -- some of which have never been shown -- in the months leading up to the November election.
