Portraits

Installation artist Tom Sarver poses with “Sarver’s Bait & Tackle” exhibit in Pittsburgh. An avid fisherman, the SUNY Purchase master’s student found inspiration after traveling around Pennsylvania chatting with fishing enthusiasts.


Chester Jackson at his mother-in-law’s house in Ross Township. In 1990, after looking at his birth certificate and seeing no name under the “mother” category, Jackson learned that the woman who raised him, Geneva Jackson, was not his biological mother. “I was relieved [when I discovered this],” Jackson said. “Growing up I knew something was different between me and my family. A lifetime of unspoken questions were then answered.”

This is not the picture I used, but I like Jackson's face.
