If on the other hand you grew up among religious fundamentalists to whom the concept of remaining yourself can be an anathema, it can be difficult to find any respect for the child, for the individual you really are. I feel one reason fundamentalists in the US have entered bookshops and ripped up Jock Sturges photographs, is likely because they are of children and adults simply remaining themselves. Looking at the hands of Jock’s subjects, at their feet on the sand, at their seeming complete contentment in their own skin, I found profound healing imagining myself as I should have been as a child, how I must be now - simply remain myself. I suggest Jocks unique photographs may have an important psychotherapeutic role to play in recovering from certain aspects of what can for some, be the trauma of childhood. To me Sturges photographs are about respect, its lack of respect that must be challenged. My thanks to everyone photographed in Jock Sturges books, to Jock, and amadelio for your film about his work.
