All of the above were taken in Orlando, Florida.
This is a part of the Souvenir series, which could be considered a subset of the Provisional Interiors series.

Portraits 4
These works are connected to but not directly a part of any specific series.
The above work was taken in Manhasset during a photography session for the 4s series. Take note of the snow that had fallen late in the season, during the month of March.
This was taken on a cold January day in Upper Manhattan during the photography session for the Hamilton/Jefferson series..
This was taken on a mild December day in Central Park. It somehow came out looking like a portrait of a folk musician of the 1960's.
This was taken on an agreeable August day in Long Island City.
This was taken for both my portfolio and the model's portfolio on a pleasant November day in Central Park.
Portraits 2
These were taken as a part of the Indoors series.
The models are reclining on art auction catalogues and other publications.
Portraits 1
These two were taken as a part of the 4s series, a portrait and mapping project in Nassau County, New York.
The top photograph was taken in Oyster Bay. The other was taken in Port Washington.
Both have been on view in a group exhibition in Brussels, Belgium.
Back On the Blog!
It's 23h11m on 12/31 of 2013, and I guess I've come to the 911 of my Studio Notebook blog.
It's been a while...
Apologies to all of those who have come by for an update and found the same, albeit remarkable, photograph of Helen Mirren at the top of the page.
I returned here to see about starting a new blog with portraits. From time to time, I've thought about posting more images than can be accommodated by one of my online portfolio pages.
I'm don't consider myself to be a portraitist, but my work tends to center on the female figure.
Instead of starting a separate blog and maintaining multiple blogs, I'll be posting portraits on Studio Notebook.
Meanwhile, happy new year.

Casting
The Frieze Art Fair 2007 recently opened in London.
Untitled (Original), by Richard Prince, commissioned by the Frieze Foundation, is arguably the centerpiece of the fair.
The work is an installation, consisting of a custom-made muscle car, displayed on a circular plinth, with a young female model, dressed in a light blue denim jacket, a fuschia bikini top, dark blue denim cut-off shorts, black army boots, and long black socks.
The work brilliantly comes together because the model is exceptionally well cast and costumed. She appears to be a typical Prince model, if there ever was one. She not only suits the aims of the installation, which intentionally references visual arts commerce, she also functions as a counterpoint to the kinds of models who appear in auto industry trade shows and custom car shows.
Who's the girl?
On artforum.com's Scene and Herd, she is identified as Karley Sciortino, a writer for Dazed and Confused.
I don't know how Prince found this model, but he's remarkably fortunate to have identified someone who is from upstate New York and living in London. According to her myspace page, Sciortino is originally from Highland, New York, and she is residing in South London.
To most art fair visitors, Sciortino simply plays the role quite well. (According to the web site of a community theater in Wappingers Falls, New York, she has some acting experience). However, it would be fair to say that Prince has been able to cast a "found model," one who comes from "Richard Prince Country," lives locally to the art fair, and writes for a contemporary culture publication, and he's recontexualized her within a particular work of art.
