These last images, shot in Golden Gate Park, remind me of my own childhood and dancing to the Teddy Bear’s Picnic. The lyrics ran through my mind as I captured these youngsters hiding from their parents and seeking each other amongst the trees. Ironically, a few of these last images of the boy amongst the trees are similar to the first images that I took of a boy amongst the birch trees, 3 years ago, near the Tate Modern in London. Interesting how things have a way of coming full circle…

This image inspired the idea of the Childhood series.

I’ve enjoyed the adventure of these last 50 days and it was an extremely fulfilling process to choose a theme and see how it evolved, through dry spells and creative highs. Now I’m looking forward to exhibiting these works alongside 59 other talented artists and seeing how a variety of themes and mediums progressed over the course of 50 days.
