pretty pretty portraiture

The Nelson-Atkins has a really nice portrait exhibit in their rotating photography space right now, with a complementary digital exhibit of portrait photography that you can browse on giant touchscreen tablets, which is a little fiddly but not terrible. The digital exhibit is also supposed to be available online, but right now it seems like the Nelson's website links to the announcement on Flakphoto.com, which links…back to the Nelson's website. Whoops.

Anyway, I did manage to write down the name of one of the photographers I really liked to look her up later—Deborah Parkin. This photograph that I reblogged her tumblr is my favorite piece from either of the exhibits.

She also has a regular blog and a website.
