This article was very interesting. He talks about how he entered into a family different from his own. In my opinion, no two families are the same. Yes they can have a lot of similarities, but there will be many things that are different. I strongly depend on my family, not financially but emotionally I wouldn't be where I am today without them! Family is my everything and they really do mean the world to me. Entering into a new family can be strange and exciting at the same time.
I like that his pictures are made as a part of everyday life and are not the result of any project or assignment. I believe this shows that everything is real in his pictures. He doesn't tell people how to stand or what to do in the picture, he just takes it. Another thing that caught my eye was that he said the clearest of pictures were at first strange to him. I have never really thought of an image that way before but it makes you think about the images that are blurry, like what could be happening to make this image look this way. I also liked what he said about whatever picture an artist makes, it is in part a picture of himself - a matter of identity. This makes you think because really people only take pictures of things that catch their eye and something they like.
I completly agree with you about the fact that your family defines your life and how you live it. They gave you your morales and beliefs. So entering a new style of living would be a bit of a shock because it's not what you are used to. But as soon as you get used to this new style of living, it becomes a new view of what you find beautiful and you begin to admire it as it is.
