Asking questions

Agnes Varda asked questions of the people she interviewed in Rue Dagguerre. I didn't have that luxury but the people in Mary St got used to me taking photos, I chated with them and I got used to including people in my images...this is a very new experience for me! I found it was much easier to do this once you had had a conversation.

Photos as questions
Anne Noble, in an artist’s presentation at her exhibition held 12 Sept.-25 Oct., 2008, at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne, said that all photos are questions...I will never forget this! So, what are the questions that sit behind my photographs?...what questions do they answer?
