I'm often asked by a seven year old why I like to take photos of normal things.
"Charlotte, why are you taking a photo of your food, that room, the garden..?" I tell her it is because I like to record every day things and with them, my life.
When she's older I'll show her this film about Stephen Shore and I think it might help her get it a bit more.

Thank you for posting this, Charlotte! Those words express so well why I take photographs, it's important for me to hear somebody else say it.

when i look back at my mother and fathers old photos, those that show everyday life is the ones i love the most.

i so agree. somehow photographing the everyday makes life tangible. and i do love your eye, your photos have that quiet beauty and always touch a nerve.
