One of the wonders of photography is how time imbues images with power.

These images are a series of Nobel Prize Laureates, former heads of state and famous political figures. Each of them traveled to Portland over the last couple of years as part of the World Affairs Council International Speaker Series. It is a step outside of food photography for me however it’s nice to work the mind in different ways. Featuring Karl Rove, Howard Dean and Pervez Musharraf.
