  4. What a great start to an inspired challenge. Be curious to see if any of the 'mug-ees' will recognize themselves.

  5. Karin,
    Love the mugshots! What a cool idea.
    I have a random unrelated question - how do you phtograph the people in museums for your paintings? Every museum in NM says no cameras. Is is incognito? Do you get permission?
    Thanks,
    Dee
