McFarlane's (1942) work shown here is a documentation of twenty years of his son Morgan's life. From the birth of his son, he observed his son: his growth through childhood to the development into a grown man. McFarlane archived the negatives under "Diary, Morgan": thousands of small moments of their life together. When Morgan climbed a cliff just ten years old, McFarlane realised that parents can never really protect their child from danger and pain. In December 1994, Morgan was killed in a car accident. These photos help McFarlane celebrate his son's short, radiant life. He hoped, by photographing Morgan, to discover something both universal and personal. His work is presented in the same frame of mind.
