Souvent, depuis le début de notre relation, j'étais restée fascinée en découvrant au réveil la table non desservie du dîner, les chaises déplacées, nos vêtements emmêlés, jetés par terre n'importe où la veille au soir en faisant l'amour. C'était un paysage à chaque fois différent. Je me demande pourquoi l'idée de le photographier ne m'est pas venue plus tôt. Ni pourquoi je n'ai jamais proposé cela à aucun homme. Peut-être considérais-je qu'il y avait là quelque chose de vaguement honteux, ou d'indigne. En un sens, il était moins obscène pour moi de photographier le sexe de M. Peut-être aussi ne pouvais-je le faire qu'avec cet homme-là et qu'à cette période de ma vie.
