The Portrait Booth Project
The Portrait Booth Project is a live photographic homage to the intimate, quirky and often amazing portrait photography of the late 19th Century.
It's equal parts random street photo booth, old-timey family vacation photo and circa-1900 portrait studio . I'm shooting with a 1968 Polaroid on instant black and white film in a 7-foot-tall canvas booth. Weather permitting, we should be out capturing strangers in varying locales about Portland over the course of the summer.
Visit the portraits section to view some of our favorites from the summer of 2009.

- Vivianne from Portland Sugar came by, had her photo taken and posted a great write-up of the project on their blog.
- Mark Searcy, former Art Director for the Portland Mercury, and accomplished photographer, had some very kind words to say over at Jark and Mason.
