Found in the cemetery at Kameiros on the Island of Rhodes, this Roman gravestone from 420 BC depicts a dead mother, known as Timarista, bidding farewell to her daughter Krito. It is an emotional piece of ancient sculpture, and as I approached it, the diagonal reflection from a nearby window seemed to reach out and embrace it. Using my spot-metering mode, I exposed for this reflection, throwing the balance of the scene into dark shadow. The shadow abstracts the image, creating a somber yet nostalgic mood that interprets the nature of the subject. In my museum photography, I see no need to simply describe the objects on display. Instead, I prefer to use my camera to find ways to express how an object may feel, and what it may say.
