“Nina is a 6 years old girl from Ireland. She’s living in Los Angeles for a couple of years with her parents, who are close
friends of mine. I went over to her house that day, in the beautiful neighborhood of Laurel Canyon. Which is where a lot of musicians
in the 60’s and 70’s lived. Very hippie. She picked out her clothes and took me up to her trampoline, which was
on a hill in her backyard. She started showing me tricks on in and the light was streaming in and I just started shooting.
It was her first time taking pictures and she told me stories about her friends while I shot. The shoot lasted almost 3 hours,
as she wanted to go to a lot of different places in her house. We took pictures by her pool, in her bedroom, and all over her backyard.
She pretty much art directed the whole thing!”
