Beautiful. Poetic. We parents give our children wings, and you have given Alison flight. Beautiful

“…to be part of these times in her life without judging or censoring. Only in this way would I have a true portrait…”

An artist’s creed. A documenter’s call. And, you’ve done it.

whoa this is impressive.
These pictures were so simple, yet they were very very deep, and showed how pictures really do speak 1000 words. These photos can be interpreted many different ways depending on ones viewpoint, which is what makes them so great.
I love this,
and thank you.

This is a wonderful series, a beautiful set of portraits. To me, the common theme is her unease. Even as a child (the photo in the bus station for example) she seems to be uneasy, uncomfortable . It is as though she is in place she is not supposed to be, with people she does not know. That is odd, because you are in every shot. The last photo, her attempt to start shooting herself -perhaps to define herself in her own terms-
such an amazing conclusion- thank you

She’s very authentic and beautiful. I liked them all, but I thought the last one was especially nice. I also like the expression on her face in the picture where a lit match flame is leaping out of her hand.
