I know you have worked on stuff like this before. This is pretty good. It gives a sense of who she might be. It causes me to look at things that could be associated with her and her thoughts. With it all, I find that I am wanting to have something more in this portrait. Perhaps some sense of

Why? Linda's family and childhood are a very important part of who she is. Here we have a photo of her with her parents and brother, made more than forty five years ago, juxtaposed with information that shows what her interests and sensibilities are that grew with her from that childhood.

Only Linda's portrait be shown on the table. In that case, I'd be comfortable assigning those referenced elements ONLY to her. How current is the photo? Which female in the photo is Linda? Does she currently live alone? Questions that disallow a defination of who Linda is. I can't know her in

One of my rules when doing this is not to touch or alter anything that's being photographed. If something's askew, even if it may somehow detract from an ideal photo, it remains askew. My feeling is that to touch anything or make an adjustment, other than camera angles or lens choices, is almost
