Hi Patrick,
Thanks for writing. It's not that I chose to back light, as much as it is that chose only to use available light, which often times leaves me forced to back light because of circumstances. I decided to travel as lightly and compactly as well as un-intrusively to make people feel more comfortable. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to pop in the forum as well!

Interesting idea for a project! Some of my photography friends and I have been discussing your photo essay in an online photography group and several people were wondering why you chose to back light your subjects in your series of photos. Was there some kind of intent behind this? We're just curious. I look forward to seeing more of your future work.

thank you!

You look well, and we trust you are.

Hi Tanja:

Just a quick note to say that I discovered your project today, and I think it's really great.

I've often had trouble trying to weigh the significance of my online relationships, especially since many of the friends I've met online are people I've spent time with "in real life." I've also had the good fortune of help from total strangers, thanks to the web.

When it comes down to things like planning a wedding and putting together the guest list, though, things start to get tough. There's still so much judgment about relationships forged online, and then once you get past that, which ones are truly significant versus non-significant.

Anyway, that was my wordy way of saying hi/hello/how are you. I've subscribed to you in my reader and look forward to watching your progress.

Hey Tanya, I'm and old friend of your parents. I recently reconnected to your dad through facebook. I remininced about how you used crawl from person to person during our VVAW meetings. I babysat you a few times.

It's great to see the woman you've become. I like the idea of your Facebook portrait project, and know it must be giving you some priceless experiences.

Hello Peter,
Just checking to see if you are related to any of the Pettengill's in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area? My grandfather's name was Vernon Pettengill and he had a brother named William.

I've been stuck in the south since last October. These photos of Margaret (my neighbor in Putney) and Vermont do my heart good!...and then I took a drive, for a few moments on back roads, in the summer time, in Vermont: Bliss!
