A new (old) venture.

In early 2007, I shot environmental portraits of Venture Bank's sitting board members for The Matale Line. That was quickly followed by a series for Venture Mortgage, with portraits of the company's agents. It seemed simple enough, but the job eventually took place over a series of months - there were location changes, new hires, and agents leaving - with almost a year passing before final selects were made. The images were gathering digital dust in my hard drive, and I was getting a little anxious to move the job to archives as "complete." Finally, picks were made.

These are a few of my favorites.
