Le Coq #3
"The winner this year [of the National Photographic Portrait Prize] is Ingvar Kenne, for a picture of his two sons Cormac and Callum standing by a suds-filled indoor pool, presumably in a motel. It is a memorable image, but hardly an unforgettable one, and one may wonder whether a child is ultimately a good choice for a portrait; they are really only on the way to becoming a person. As a parent, one is rightly fascinated by each step of that development of personality, of character, of gradually evolving inner life. But to a stranger, these things cannot have the same interest."
