Today I made three portraits while enjoying myself at Sunday Brunch at the Newcamp/Stabiles. George (top photo) is one of my favorite people... a few years ago he introduced me to the concept of the Sunday beer and we have shared a few brews over time and each time we have great conversation and laughs. His wife Barb(middle photo)really helped me understand a part of a story that I did on Alzheimer's that was difficult to tell, the tough times the disease puts on the whole family. They have been good friends for years and today at brunch I met several other people who they call friends that are just great people. I met Barry Bonnell today and I simply asked if I could take his picture and he agreed and we talked for sometime about art and photography. His wife is a photographer and he is graphic artist. It was a good morning. I enjoyed making these pictures because they are pretty candid portraits and all three subject knew I was there with a camera and they just became comfortable and didn't stop being themselves even though I was there with camera in hand. Now a Sunday beer is simple really, you make having a beer on Sunday something special by either having a beer you haven't had before, or one you simply enjoy or you have it with a friend or you just have a beer--think of your friends and savor the fact that you can have such a moment and enjoy the simplicity of drinking something good. I think Sunday beer should become a past-time. It certainly has for me and for George. Maybe we can start a movement! Photographs by Richard Sayer. Oh about these photographs as portraits--what I do like about these os they are moments in time that encapsulates the character, even if its only a brief moment, of that person or at least a small part of their character. This sort of portrait is much stronger than the posed portrait in front of some backdrop in a studio.
