Episode Two: Portrait of My Mother
A life in five photographs. 2/5 "βIβm going to walk the dogβ she said βand when I get back, could you take a photograph of me, please, in front of the house.β"
"Iβm going to try and explain myself. Lynn said she didnβt think a normal biographical approach would get me very far. No point plodding through childhood, school, college, assignments, awards. People can find that on Wikipedia, Lynn said.
She suggested I use my photos. Sometimes actual photos, sometimes my memory of them, or my memory of taking them.
So Iβve chosen five photos. Iβm going to try and tell a true story of myself with these five photographs and weβll end up with Jack. With me, and Jack, and what happened with that."
