both of these are from the same night of fishing. they are both bad. especially the kneeling down one. looks like a page from ll bean.

i am starting a new approach.

From the kitchen at 736 Humboldt:

summer projects

1. I want to spend some time in Ohio photographing my sister - Adriana. She's 13 now. I'm going up the second week of June. 

2. I will also be making trips to Toronto this summer. There I want to photograph my cousins again- Nathalie, Caroline and Katherine Guennel. Nathalie has just finished her first year at university. The twins - Caroline and Katherine, will be finishing high school and come September, Katherine is leaving to a different city for university, so it will be the last time they will be living together at home. It has been nearly three years since I last photographed them for my young girl series. I may be shooting in colour this time..and mix in artificial light too. We'll see. 

3. In New York, a smaller series, photograph Mimi before she leaves..continue within same style as feb 12th post on my blog. shooting tight, very much concentrating on women figure, sensuality and sexual tension within the body.

I hold a set of confused childhood memories. Things I was unclear about years ago and still feel someone mystified by today. My curiosity is still peaked.

The confusion in these memories comes from the same place as most illogical childhood thinking- is it play it be ear or play it by year, do unicorns exist, etc. but there have been no moments of clarity with these memories. I am as unsure now as then.

This summer I would like to try and document the basis for these memories- Tolson Winter’s Christmas tree- the boat Joey and Donald and I had. And so on. Maybe there will be answers.

I would also like to continue working on a long term project documenting the type of life I had growing up with this one group of boys. I have had these friends since a very young age. No one has given up. We all still know each other.

Oops

I guess I am supposed to write what I said in that email here:

I'm going to photograph my Grandmother's things, we'll see what happens from there.
