A life list project: take 1000 portraits. The goal is to finish before March 13, 2012 (My 30th birthday)
"A portrait is a...photograph...of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the ...photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer." - Wikipedia
