Ars longa; vita brevis - The Portrait

Immortalizing oneself through portraiture is something that I have never really taken the time to think of.  In all honesty, if I had the choice, I wouldn't get a portrait done of myself.   Not today, anyways.  I haven't done anything I deem noteworthy of such iconography.  Portraits are fine for people in positions of power.  For people who have an image to portray (talk about a redundant statement) and maintain.  Even a family portrait would be fine because of what it is made to represent; the family; spirit, etc.
 I really don't see myself in a portrait, but if I had to have one made, I would make it be representative of who and what I want to be in the future; a successful attorney with a stern but approachable demeanor.  Clothed in a proper suit and accompanying accessories.
