SHOT BY KERN.

I got this book around the holidays as a present to myself. It is a look into the lives of ordinary[beautiful] people doing everyday mundane things. Kern is behind the lens catching their most intimate moments when they are alone. The photos are sensual without the look of trying.


"So, what are you, a Peeping Tom?

That's not a word I'd ever use...

The Peeping Tom is furtive, inhibited, sweaty... The voyeur is open, confident, cool. The Peeping Tom is small-time, limited, has narrow horizons... The voyeur is wordly, sophisticated, cosmopolitan."

This is a favorite shot of mine from the book. It makes me think of an office affair. The one where the two of you sneak around and give each other those looks when noone is paying attention. The kind of looks that make you want to do those things you did in the empty cubicle again.
