Krátky popis
It was in 1978, during my first summer of making portraits while
using an 8x10 inch large format camera, that I found myself drawn
to photographing redheads. I have often been asked, 'why redheads,'
and I've often felt it was because in summer redheads seem to bloom
in the sun more gloriously than the rest of us. But it also might
have been my living far out on the tip of Cape Cod, surrounded by
all the blue light of sea and sky, which made me pay more attention
to the flamboyant qualities of redheads.Their hair and the exotic
markings of their skin in sunlight became even rosier and more
astonishing in that blue atmosphere. Redheads, like film itself,
are transformed by sunlight. It seems natural to me now that I
would have paid attention to this new phenomenon as it appeared
within the larger subject of the Cape itself.After making more than
50 portraits that first month, in which at least 30 were of
redheads, I understood that this was an impulse to be taken
seriously. I ran an ad in the local paper, the Provincetown
Advocate: ",REMARKABLE PEOPLE! If you are a redhead or know someone
who is, I'd like to make your portrait, call....", They began
coming to my deck, bringing with them their courage and their
shyness, their curiosity and their dreams, and they shared their
stories of what it was like to be a redhead. They spoke of the
painful remembrances of childhood, the violations of privacy and
name calling-",Hey, red,", ",freckle face,", ",carrot head.", They
also shared with me their sense of personal victory at having
overcome this early, unwanted celebrity, and how like giants or
dwarfs or athletes they had finally grown into their specialness
and by surviving had been ennobled by it.You could say that they
had been baptized by their own fire, and that their shared
experience had formed a ",blood knot", among them. I had begun
making portraits with the intention of photographing ordinary
people. But redheads are both ordinary and special.Their slender
slice of the genetic pie accounts for only 2 or 3 percent of the
world's population. As different as redheads are in terms of
nationality and religion, they often give the appearance of a
strong familial connection. My way of making portraits is not by
getting down on my hands and knees, nor climbing high on a ladder,
nor getting into bed with a celebrity, but simply standing eye to
eye with anyone has found their way to me, young or old.I need only
one or two sheets of film and the patience to see it through. This
new edition of 'Redheads' will have a number of new and previously
unseen portraits.
