Sometimes when I take a photograph I have the idea of
something that came before me in my mind. Sometimes the similarity of my
photographs to earlier works (Picasso’s) is simply a coincidence. Such was almost
the case in this photograph of M which I took in Buenos Aires this
past April in Nora Patrich’s studio in Bella Vista. That is her work behind
her. When M showed up for our photo session and took out the lovely blue
silk robe it was Patrich who suggested we pose her by her painting of the woman
in blue.
