It's a great subject, but one need's the photo's title for the photo to be meaningful. Or at least, them's the words I come up with when I try to understand my own judgement of the photo :-) The series is like a play, something about a special, magical scene or place or stage on which young folks are in the process of coming of age. You titled one of the photos of some girls "thirteen," and I thought of another play where a 13 year old girl is coming of age - Shakespeare's Juliet was 13. And then in a photographic context, the number "thirteen" makes me think of "twelve" and another very different coming of age series of photographs, Sally Mann's "At Twelve." And then I think of the controversy surrounding that series of photos and the book - and I decide to stop writing anymore :-) Just a stream of consciousness, but one kicked of by your excellent series of photographs. Very cool. Scott H.
