Waiting at Their Window
- Early yesterday morning a white, male, child, between the ages of two and three years old, attempted to pull off a fiendish bank heist at my local ATM. I was too smart for him. I know that type. They look like butter would not melt, but they actually have no ethical boundaries whatsoever. That incident has nothing to do with this photograph, I just wanted you to know that I am not one to be hoodwinked by cuteness.
- Santa always looks the same; white beard, red suit, traditional footwear. So why photograph Santa’s parade when you could photograph his fans?
- The same day that I saw this photograph, my kid asked how I’d feel if she painted a personal version of a Renaissance masterpiece on her bedroom ceiling. So it was pure chance that I made the connection between Raphael and these Toronto cherubim. The two in the middle have mastered the poses. The kid on the right needs to work on his expression.
- It occurs to me that given a decade, a more indulgent diet, and the right red outfit, Jeff could make an excellent substitute for Santa.
- Imagine the pictures Santa could shoot.
