Hartford Studio Opens - 89 Pratt St, Hartford, Ct

Wow - Well, it feels good. We have a studio !!!! And we have moved in. And I have taken our first round of portraits. And we have rolled the first tape in the creation of the project documentary.



My first subject was Luis Cotto- I had invited Luis, councilman of the Working Families Party, to our first POA organizational meeting with the Greater Hartford Arts Council. He came with Angel. Not your typical councilman - on the job with baby leading the parade. Yet there he was with Angel in a stomach pouch, Kangaroo style. I have since come to find that Angel is extremely well know around town - and well loved. Luis is a proud and practical dad and has an amazing story, which I look forward to sharing with you as time goes on. Luis accepted my second invitation to be our first subject. Thank you Luis....

Albemarle Equities, the real estate development company, has essentially donated a space for Portrait of America to work in for the initial phase of its Hartford project. I am very grateful. Thank you.
