Me too. I didn't pick the outfits.

Yes, lobster pots on the pier at Rockport. What I showed you was about
10% of what I took. There are plenty more of her face. What I chose to
show was not only some of the better ones but also some that showed all
of her, all three outfits she wore, and also a sense of place. If I
were to choose my own favorite it would be from one of the close-ups as
it best fits my own sense of portrait photography. But my photo mentor
continues to drive into me the notion of "environmental portraits" where
the subject is pictured within the environment.
