Kids
these days.
Back
in my day, we used to ….(insert your own idealized memories). Whatever we were back then (I don’t know
about you but I was awesome – not everyone agreed with my assessment), we grew
into who we are now. I created this
poster for his Bar Mitzvah. The
photograph was taken during a visit of grandchildren to their grandfather –my
stepfather. The skateboarding appliqué
on the tee shirt
was photographed in my studio.
I have photographed
many “attitudinal” teenagers but this was my most
challenging shoot!
I’m wondering if he
sees his personality in this photo. What
is his perspective on his 13 year old persona?
When he sees other 13 year olds, does he think, ”kids these days?” Looking back, what is your perspective on
your youth?
