"The Photographer"

“The Photographer” is the story of a young male photographer who is in search of evidence of his mother. As he roams freely from place to place, trying to capture images in nature that relate to motherhood or origination, the young photographer’s oedipal complex becomes quickly apparent and his lens, and obvious metaphor for memory.
