cream of the crop
December 29, 2004
i finally decided on a photo to represent the 'best of squeegie.org 2004,' and it wasnt any of the photos you sweet people chose.
see how i am? i ask for your opinion and then do my own thing anyway. dont take it personally - ive been this way for years: just ask my mother.
instead, i chose Golden Days Bonnet.
it was one of my first attempts at photographing people in public, and during which i gained more comfort in doing so.
i also love this photo because of its deceptiveness. it has a sense of peace and nostalgia that did not surround the entire experience: being jam-packed on a sidewalk with 80% of fairbanks on a hot summer day during a parade. and while the viewer of the photograph may not know that, i do.
