bruce weber


have wanting to take some B&W photos of my 3 young boys. i want to capture the beauty of their bodies in mid-play. to me its a glorious display of pure joyful physicality. i want to capture that precious lack of self consciousness while it lasts. inspired by Bruce Weber's family portraits from the 90's. I'm picturing evening low sun, long grass and summery bare limbs, wrestling and chasing. the big problem is of course to protect their innocence. i guess the best way to do that is to make sure the results will only be displayed on my wall and out of the public domain.

dandelion


humble little dandelion. ordinary pest to most yet the seed heads are full of delight for kids. the leaves & vitamins are apparently full of vitamins and good to put in salads.



i love the geometry of the seed head structure. a configuration that is popular with fountain designers. this one is in Christchurch NZ



small


big

this is the dandelion fountain at kings cross near where we lived in sydney. i used to marvel at how grand and impressive this weed looked as a giant public fountain
