Portrait … I’m thinking this means a formal photo you’ve had made of yourself? I think I’ve had mine done a couple of times. Once when I was a baby, once when I was older. That one was odd because of the paper it was printed out on, sort of rough, and then colorized in. It is kind of sepia and touches of other color. Then there are the school photos. Would they be portraits if they were done for the school yearbook?

I did look up the Wiki definition of a portrait … A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face is always predominant.

We did have our family portrait done once when our girls were little. I didn’t much like them though. I don’t like my picture at any time or any way, so that’s just me and how I am. I don’t go around taking pictures of strangers that I see, either. Once in awhile, but not often. I have lots of family photos just from a camera or on my phone. Not really portraits though. Some are of the pets we’ve had, too.

That’s all I have to say about that. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
