Una, by Fred

5 Una bath toy, originally uploaded by nellup.

Fred took a series of photos of Una in the bathroom (yes, not only do we have a pink kitchen, we have much pink in the bathroom too. Daggy eighties pink).

Anyway, I love these shots. To me they have a tenderness about them, I can see how fascinating Fred finds Una. Fred's curiosity about her self and the world definitely extends to Una. It reminds me of a Toni Morrison quote I found once (I'm not sure where it's from): "A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double."

More of Fred's photos, including a sequence of Una in the bathroom, can be found here.
