March 3, 2012 – A year of portraits – Rupert Furgerson II

I’m hoping you get the fact that Rupert Furgerson II has just a little bit of Scot in his blood from this portrait I shot of him Saturday for my year long portrait series.

Rupert is the president of the Clan Fergusson Society of North America and lives here in Madisonville, Ky and quite an interesting person.

I’m working on hooking up with different groups in the area that are into re-enacting or other groups that I feel would be interesting to do a portrait on and Rupert is the first.
