I can do that better with someone or something that has a soul to express. I like to take ordinary people and places, often overlooked, and make someone notice them. The faces of my friends do not look different printed onto paper, but that moment in which they smiled, frowned or gazed into a different world is now factual. Ordinary landscapes look desolate and scared when I capture them in black and white. I like taking pictures of average things. So I try not to seek uniqueness, but exactly the opposite.
I think at this point, photography has reached a stage where everything has been done: all emotions have been exposed and all experiences have been explored. But all living things portray something "capturable" for me - an essence or an air. I don't really photographing inanimate objects. The meaning is in the eye of the onlooker.ĭefinitely not 'things'. But if someone looks at a portrait of a teenage girl and sees a smiling youth sitting in a car, then I have documented a moment of the experience of growing up. But if someone looks at my portrait of a teenage girl and sees the sadness behind her smile, then I have documented emotion. I guess it depends who's viewing them, not to be really pretentious and obnoxious. My tastes change every so often and each of my tastes probably contribute to a change in who I am.ĭo you think you document more emotions or experiences with your photography? This year I've been listening to artists Nicki Minaj, Simon and Garfunkle, and Death Cab for Cutie. Last year I listened to independent artists like Maps and Atlases and Laura Stevenson - that music totally changed me. Every so often I have some psychological epiphany and many parts of me alter. What song/album/ artist (musical or otherwise), if any, do you think most guided/ shaped you as you grew up/ are growing up?Įh. What three words would you say most describe your work? It took about a year, until I took my first darkroom photography class, but eventually I became interested in photography as an artistic pursuit. I started taking film photos around freshman year - my sister gave me her old film canon rebel 2000 for my 15th birthday. On a camping trip I took a picture of a canoe with my brother's camera - that is the first time I can remember being really infatuated with a photograph. I think that primary exposure sparked my interest. That's when I started taking typical, terrible snapshots of my friends, my dogs.anything. When I was in 6th grade I got a digital point and shoot camera for my birthday because that was the 'cool thing to get'.

⏳ I hate being late and in that moment, I was thinking more about keeping a taxi driver waiting than my relationship with my child.How long have you been taking pictures? What got you interested in the first place? ⛔ I felt like she was being entitled and unreasonable. Making a fuss about a wash bag, when she’d just been treated to a lovely family holiday. ⏲ I had only had 4 hours sleep the night before, as it was a very early start So what were my triggers in this situation? When your buttons get pushed, it usually has nothing to do with your child. My daughter point blank refused to put her sister’s washbag into her suitcase.Īll the other cases were closed and she had the most space in hers. We were moments away from the taxi arriving to take us to the airport. Just last week for the first time in ages, I really lost my cool with my youngest daughter aged 12. I might be a parent educator and one of my most popular talks is on ‘Keeping Calm’ but that certainly does not make me a perfect parent! When was the last time you really lost it with your child and why?👿 #death #queenelizabeth #mortality #grief #loss How have you addressed the topic of death with your children? ✅Don’t try to dismiss or just reassure. Help them sit with difficult emotions and know that all feelings are acceptable and they come and go just like waves.

✅ Give yourself time. If your child poses a difficult question and you are not sure how to respond, you can say “I don’t know, let me get back to you” or “That is such an important question and I want to think about how to answer it properly.” ✅Your main role is to help them feel heard and understood
✅Rather than over sharing, start by asking them questions: ✅Be open, honest and straight forward, so they feel comfortable coming to you with further questions in the future. ✅Use clear and simple language, rather than saying she ‘passed away’ or ‘went to rest’. What is the best way to respond when a child of any age asks questions about mortality? Has the death of the Queen meant your child is asking questions about death? Perhaps it has reminded them of a loss in your own family.
