I’ve been perusing Craigslist,  the Goodwill store,  garage sales. and other venues for some time, looking for just the right chair. I found it in Sun Prairie. This newly reupholstered  Queen Anne jumped off the screen when I saw it on the Facebook marketplace.   The bright blue fabric and white trim,  together with the fan-back styling,  make for a distinctive piece.

Equally important is the chair’s compact dimensions and portability. You see, I intend to haul this chair all over creation, photographing people in random locations where you would never expect to find such piece of furniture. Imagine someone sitting in this chair in the middle of a frozen lake, ice fishing.  Or someone in the middle of a winding country road, reading a book. Perhaps the chair will find its way to a few prominent Madison landmarks,  such as the capitol, Bascom Hill,  or State Street. We might even make a road trip or two.

Where would you sit for your portrait?

I’m looking for ideas and volunteers.  Please use the comment field below to share your suggestions about locations, settings, subjects, lighting, and other aspects.  Perhaps you, or someone you know,  could provide access to a location that might otherwise be off-limits.

What’s the point? Honestly, I’m not really sure.   I’ve got a camera, a blue chair,  and a fertile imagination. Now I need faces and places.
