the bedroom

I went back to B0b and G1adys's house today. I didn't have long to stay, but I've been thinking about how I want to make a portrait of them in their bedroom. When I suggested the idea, B0b was not keen. "No way. We're not making a phonographic movie!"

I described a bit more what I was thinking about, and G1adys suggested that maybe I could come over when they're getting ready to go out, in fancier clothes. When I said I thought that sounded interesting, Bob asked, "So what did you have in mind? Do you want a picture of me putting my pants on?"

I think he was comforted by my very emphatic negative response.

So I made some pictures of them in G1adys's bedroom. I screwed up the exposure, sadly, but I think I'm on the right track. I like the idea of a series of photos of people in one of their most private rooms. It reminds me of my first impression of the neighbourhood, when I went out to photograph it, and I saw virtually no people on the street, just rustling curtains in the blank windows.
