I know that the LUG is overwhelmingly male, but when I used the "find a photographer in your area" feature on the PPA web site, more than half of the 20 or so portrait photographers that it found in this area are female. I'm kind of intrigued by this entire project. My life and house are filled with thousands of photographs of the people who live here and their friends, but my wife and my daughters are adamant that they want a posed formal portrait. It's more than a photograph; it's a cultural icon. And I've spent the last few weeks cataloging and scanning 100 old pictures of my father and his parents; the rest of my family is interested only in the posed formal portraits, and pay no attention to the pictures that are not posed.
