My pictures are about a captured moment, rather than about the person. They are about a feeling, and to that extent they preserve my children’s anonymity. They are disguised somehow. I’m showing a moment of life, not part of their personality, and to that extent they could be anyone.
Essentially, this is all a question of perception. It’s like this: someone shows another person a blot of ink and asks them what they see. They reply: “I see a German shepherd dog.” Then they show them another blot, and they see a springer spaniel, then another and they see a doberman. The first person exclaims: “Say, you sure do have an obsession with dogs.” And the second replies: “You’re the one who keeps showing dog pictures.”
