Listen to my reflection on this work
This portrait is drawn from a photo taken back before pictures were an everyday thing. With all the technology we have today, it's funny to think back on disposable cameras. The limited number of shots on a roll. No way of knowing whether you got a good photo. Dropping off the film and having a complete stranger see all your pictures as they developed them. It's all such a relic of the past.
When I look at this portrait, it reminds me how invasive having your photo taken felt back then. And how annoying the flash was. It still is. Photos get taken so often these days that it doesn't even register anymore. That feels like a lifetime ago.
