The children...
Sally has said several times that if she knew what she did in her series Immediate Family would harm her children in any way she would of not done it. She didn't realize the reaction to what she saw as natural moments of childhood and adolescence would be construed as child pornography no matter how provocative the pictures were. She had wanted to wait to publish the book until the children were much older but upon the children's request she published them sooner but made sure no copies were sold in their town and any copy would be kept in a basement of the library.
She said the kids's only concern was if they looked "stupid or like dorks" in the poses!
Emmet once said he had a little trouble at school but then it was no big deal because his picture was in big museums and that it was art.
When her daughter's were asked "publicly-private" (in a film) about their Mother they said she didn't really have that maternal instinct it was more like they were friends. She wasn't very affectionate or expressive of her feelings and is still that way today. They believe the photos are her way of showing and expressing her love for them.
When asked what Sally thinks she will be remembered for she answers "My landscape." Emmet interjects stating Immediate Family is what she will be remembered by and cockily says "Because WE'RE in it!"
