England - Wrington - Young girl daydreams with freshly-picked flowers

It is late on a summer Somerset evening and light is fading towards bedtime for children. Clutching a small bunch of daisies, a five year-old girl gazes at one of her flowers as if held in a trance. Standing in a meadow belonging to her grandfather, she holds up a single stem and twirls it around in her fingers to see its shape and sense its smell. About to climb over a gate in the background, her younger brother is having an adventure of his own, standing on the metal horizontal part of the frame, holding on with one hand. It is a tranquil scene of childhood innocence, of long summer days and summer holidays. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.
