Kyoko: Ok, so... Thanks for allowing me to photograph you... you don't have to do anything... let me just get the light... yes... would you mind
standing in there... Yeah, sort of under that light... Great!...
Clown: Ohhhhh! Yesss.... OK! Like thiiiisss?
Kyoko: Ok, now just try to forget that you're being photographed in a clown-suit... You know... how about to think about the person underneath your
costume and make-up and wigs...
Clown: Sure! Yesss! Great! Indeed! Like thiiiis??
Kyoko: Ummmm…ok... just a little more.... I mean, can you just be... you know.... natural? No big smiles or poses... just do nothing... you don't
have to be a clown for a moment… lets try that…?
Clown: No problem! No problems here! We've got the solution! How about this!?!... Or this?? Or how about this?!
Kyoko: Um… mmm... not really…um, I know that you are a clown right now, but is it possible to.... I don't know... just be a regular person... no
posing or smiling or frowning... for just a second...?
Big gratitude to the clowns, Big Apple Circus, the hospitals and the patients for opening the door to me for the photo shoots.
