my baby growing ...

thank God i didn't pick some crazy gallery.

these categories continue to make me laugh.

so ... my favourite subject. i remember making photographs of her when she had almost no hair. sliding down a slide.

seeing a duck for the first time.

i remember when her mother and i separated.

i remembered the empty house.

walking by her room.

empty.

all the care and thought that went into decorating it.

with no one there to appreciate it.

needless to say i moved straight away.

but ... it was all good.

because we have an amazing relationship.

instead of making a photograph of her in a typical fashion ...

i wanted to show the little lady emerging from the little girl.

i wanted to show her reflecting introspective side.

she's such an amazing subject.

follows what i say and puts her own thoughts into the pose.

those days of walking by her empty room when we separated seem like it was a lifetime ago...

i love this wistful pose.

i love the location that is my parent's property.

i love her.

more than i've ever loved anything else in my life.

besides making photographs.
