Son Remy (13) is a wannabe travel photographer. We went to launch of African Photographer Steve Bloom’s latest book of prints, Living Africa. Amazing Christmas present. The shots in Senegal gave us renewed encouragement to try to get there next year for our annual African jaunt.
The ritual of the printed page, the gorgeous photo, the bound book - so atavistic, so entrenched, so compelling. Bloom is a fabulous mix of swashbuckling yarnspinner and humble technical perfectionist, mad and patient enough to wait four days for one shot.
Remy got promoted to higher sets in Science and French and German. He’d worked hard for this, wanted it, and was very pleased. Life comes together around 13, one begins to find out what is one’s groove.
