I save the good light for these two. For the banality of our day The banality of motherhood The poetry of boredom. The artefacts of routine. My great loves. Everything, all of it, on 35mm, I say. When he was born, I said his childhood ought to look like mine. Analogue only, from the delivery bed onwards. I have my priorities crooked. Blame the hormones, I say. And my will to preserve the unpreservable. I put photography on a shelf. But I take her down just for you. Funnel it all your way. My pent-up way of seeing. Of the banality of our day. The banality of motherhood. My two great loves.
