Popping the question

Today I had to pop the question to my mum about whether or not she would mind me photographing some of her clothes and shoes, including some underwear. I have an immensely close relationship with my mum, I would call her my closest friend, yet the one person who I can accept discipline from, she's taught me right from wrong and I have looked up to her for as long as I remember. Part of this project is having to ask people uncomfortable questions and create uncomfortable situations, I want to document these in the form of writing, because I think its important to respond to feelings, emotions, and thoughts that some questions provoke. So before asking my mum what I could photograph I actually chose for myself, this way I felt that I would get a true representation of her, rather than what she wanted people to see, not that she really cares what people think, but subconsciously I think any normal individual would chose their Sunday best over their loungewear. I had to ask my mum when she was in a room with her best friend and her best friend's mum, purely because I had run out of time to ask her before hand, I walked into the room and she instantly asked what was up, I said 'nothing I'm on my way out now, I'll see you later' she didn't pester, then after she said goodbye I turned around and asked if she would mind me photographing her underwear, her first response was laughter although her friends were obviously un sure, she simply replied 'as long as they are clean'. Simple! I would have understood if she'd have said no, but the fact that she couldn't care less, as long as they are clean just represents how easy going she is.
I will be posting these photographs later on.
