“I used to love getting my picture taken as a kid. I would pose on all the vacation photos my dad was taking.
Pretending I had an entire list of practiced poses to choose from. Usually settling for the good old hand on the hip and a distant look towards whatever horizon I had in front of me. ”
“But the older I got, the less I enjoyed being in front of camera.
I wanted to be behind it, wanted to be the one taking the photos.
So I picked up a camera and went to work.”
“I’ll still find myself on the other side of the lens at times.
But mostly through self portraits, allowing me to stay in control of the shots.
After all it’s true what they say:
’On n’est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même’.”
