Gareth (November 26, 2001)
When you've been photographing someone all day it can be pretty interpersonal. I'd been photographing this model called Gareth all day and this is the last picture I took. It feels kind of intimate but it's not really. I don't believe in 'portraiture' any more. Photos like this make me feel lonely.
