Emogene - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

I made this portrait of my daughter Emogene when she was 13 years old.  She is wearing a dress that belonged to her great, great, Grandmother Emogene, I love the history that is represented in this portrait.  I believe deeply in photographic portraits and the history they can portray, and I strive to honor the power inherent in portrait photography.
