Eric, thank you for pointing that out. I had intended to comment on the David Michael and Jessie portrait, but somehow left it out.
David Michael Kennedy is a fairly famous photographer who photographed people like Bob Dylan, Debbie Harry, Muddy Waters, Bruce Springstein, and Richard Segalman. I went to photograph him in Galisteo, NM. I asked if I could also photograph him with his son. Jessie said he wasn't interested. I shot several frames in various places around the house and ended up back in the living room. I posed DM on the arm of the couch where Jessie was sitting, and without interrupting his reading, took the picture. To me the portrait reveals a relationship in which the father appreciates his son as an individual with needs and desires all his own, a relationship where each is allowed to be his own person. -

Wonderful portrait. I sensed the disinterest from Jessie before I read your comments. I think that emotional element gives a truth and power to the image that reveals the complexity of father-son relationship. I very much like what the home environment adds to the story; it is hard to imagine capturing the story as ppowerfully as you have in a studio.
