My artwork is a just a little moment reaching both into my world of photography and the stories of my family. I have three sons and they have been my subjects since I took photography seriously.
This portrait in “Stolen” is my middle son, Alexander. My Alexander’s nature is very quiet but independent.
As I write this, I go back and think of the day I took his portraits and I feel a sadness come upon me. In those moments I had took it for granted the submission and playful nature that happened through my camera lens.
He was a very sad boy that day but he was young and taking risks submerging his face under the water in the bath tub .I watched him be himself and I took photographs of it.
Today my portraits of Alexander might be great but he only reveals what he chooses too as he has grown older.
