“I really hate having my picture taken”, said Helen, the owner of the most beautiful of shoe shops, Geoffrey Bailey Shoes in Wantage, Oxfordshire (England).
“Oh really?”, I replied in my most sympathetic voice and aimed my camera at her. I am an anarchist with my camera, ungoverned by any such objections. The aim is not to let too many people escape with their resistance intact. In any case, I do not take pictures – I make photographs.
The resulting photograph, one in my on-going series of unplanned portraits, seems to prove that you can have fun being photographed even if you thought that you hated it.
