I see lots of portraits of old men, particularly if they have a long beard or lots of wrinkles, but I can't say the same for women. (Especially the beard.)
Seriously, I know it's hard because of the vanity issue, but I'm going to try to flatter some old ladies with honest but good portraits in some street/subway portraiture.
Perhaps some of you could show some of your success in this area.
I only have a few like this, and they are of my mother. My computer with my archive is down, so I can't show anything right now. I'm sure I'll have something I can post soon.
