Series of black and white vertical portrait photographs from the1970's.

This series of black and white vertical portrait photographs which I made in the 1970's. These portraits reflect my interest in an up-close and personal style of photography which finds an authentic and honest moment of the people I am photographing. I am fascinated in what peoples clothes and hairstyles reflect the fashion styles of the period and wonder what these people are doing today and how much different they must look.
