I do not know the political views or how successful of a township supervisor Norm Cronin has been over his 24 years serving Vernon Township, I've only recently met the man. I had photographed him before, but never really took the time to meet and speak with him. He is a nice man, soft spoken and seems quite genuine in person. I understand I'm making an impression based on brief encounters, but when I was given the task of making a portrait of him on Saturday for a story about his 24 years of public service, I enjoyed trying to find his personality in a photograph. I'm not sure if I did 100%, but I took three separate photographs of Mr. Cronin that I thought touched on who he is. This one I felt showed his humble pride and was quite pleased to have pushed the button when I did because I intended to work for a much different portrait, which I did and one of the others will probably accompany the story we do on him later in the week.
