When I have a camera in my hand, I have an obsession to photograph people. However, I feel funny taking pictures of people unless I introduce myself and ask their permission. When that happens, I generally lose the candid and honest emotional shot. I may end up with something usable, but I feel a little sad that I did not get the realism that is possible when the subject is unaware of the lens.
At the San Antonio Museum of Art, I got to photograph a great assortment of faces. The room housing the ancient Greek and Roman work was filled with statues, coins, mosaics and pottery showing the faces of people who lived in a different time. Here are a few of my favorites.
