One of my first subjects for Precious Objects was a woman who held the "perfume bottle from her first romance". I had the idea that I would combine the images of people holding their object and their written description with photographs I made in stores of consumer versions of the same objects. While that was fun, it was pretty stupid when people started showing up their inmate card from prison, for example.
