15-small portrait studies on one sheet of paper! I knew it was foolhardy at the time but the passage of time places the group in a different light. So a few words on the methods used. At that time I had joined a portraiture class for beginners and was struggling to capture the likenesses of the various sitters provided. Extra practice was needed and a little every-day technology was pressed into service. Modern television sets and their associated recording equipment enable likely subjects to be frozen on the screen at will, and for the moving image to be explored frame by frame. This, in essence is how I worked, so the fifteen images now become a record of people who found fame or employment at the time and who might now have been forgotten. Remember I live in the UK so the "fame" may have been quite local, though many people might recognise our prime minister at the time and perhaps one or two of the others. One thing I now find interesing is how a likeness is mostly captured despite the lack of apparent brain-hand control. It begs the question of what is the more important. The search for individuality is always valuable and it is intriguing to realise that a lack of skill isn't necessarily a disadvantage. My apologies for the profusion of words but they tell of something. Cliff
