| I ask you to reconsider the system of habitual domestic photography by describing the photograph as a 'stage' upon which we play out familial roles. My examination of this area of practice reveals much about the psychology of the human condition and the position of the family, while pointing to what is so often lacking from this type of image production. Throughout my critique of the domestic photograph I maintain that the practice of family photography is both crucial and endearing, I am interested in revealing both the obscurities, the poignancies and the quirks of its contemporary use. |
