When we fall in love with the love we've got - III

I think its fitting to at start with this link as I've always found personal work of photographers to be the most inspiring:


I've been lucky enough to be inspired by a mother and a grandfather who also took photos.
In December  I returned home for the first time in over a year. It had been the longest yet that I hadn't seen my family.  The most surprising element was how distinctly normal it felt to be back. And what also came back to me was everything I'd grow up with - the dynamic of MY family.

I've been 'working' on this small project on and off since 2008. About my family, and how we all influence each other. Originally it was specifically focused on my mother, her battle with ADHD and depression, and the distinct influence that has had on our lives. But really, as with family, it is never that cut and dry. And being back with them, and with a camera in my hand, I was reminded that this is more a look at us all.

This is just another part.
