It’s kind of fun taking pictures of my Mum. It’s a matter of surprise, a lot of the time — not giving her time to tense up and become self-conscious. In this shot, she is aware of the camera, but for some reason hasn’t yet had a chance to really get tense. I hope it does her justice.
It was taken at a cafe one day when we’d decided to drop in for a coffee on the way somewhere. The light from the window was perfect, so I couldn’t help myself.
