, by Alfred LeBlanc. Linden MacIntyre’s most recent book isI first heard of Alfred LeBlanc’s photography project when he told me that he would like to photograph my mother. They had never met, but I believe he knew her in a general way. People from small places always seem to instinctively know each other.
I could have told her that Alfred would like to take a picture of a real person – “as you are now” – with character and dignity. That he wanted her to represent a universal quality that enables lucky people – “like you” – to survive adversity, life and death, the mundane realities of passing time. Someone like Alfred, with his sensitive eye and easy manner, would immortalize her. The psychic assets, the humour, the faith, the guts and determination to survive all the challenges.
That’s what Alfred wants to photograph. But here’s the thing – even if you don’t let him, you are mercifully not unique. There are many people, much like you, shaped by those same challenges, sustained by those same virtues, whowelcome him. And he will charm them into spontaneity and he will see the universal qualities that really make them interesting, and, with his camera, he will capture the integrity that makes us love them and forgive them and, in the end, admire and celebrate them.
