4 portraits with umbrellas

i am a big fan of chinese oiled paper umbrellas
usually i buy the patterned ones
but last time i went to get them
they only had white

i don't usually approach this project from the
"insert self into a tableau a la cindy sherman" pov
but sometimes
fgr really saves the day

and a gr8 lead in 2
a tiny side project
"almost the same, but different"

the other ones can be found at:
daily bread,
the other side
and
