What do you do, when Mom is at music practice and Dad just gets home from work? Throw on some boots, a Costco hat, and grab a cart at Safeway to shop for Christmas presents - that's what!For the record, had these photos come from any published up-and-coming-twenty-something photog, they would be considered:
"Gritty and real, forcing retrospection from the viewer on the how society views its own citizens."But they're from me, forty-something-film-shooting-dinosaur-with-cameraphone - which means they're nothing more than a couple of mobile shots of my boy, edited with a light cropping and color enhancement. Sure, maybe they are gritty, but by no means do I want to force retrospection on you by looking at allegedly artistic grittiness.
"Maybe Mommy would like it if you got me this one, Dad..."At the checkout, the Safeway cashier was none too pleased to see David wearing a Costco hat. Might have also been reacting to a kid who looks like he just rolled out of South Seattle in a lowered `77 Coupe DeVille!
