If I may comment further. Interestingly, this photograph is strikingly reminiscent of the grand prize winner in the current issue (Mar/Apr 2001) of Photo Techniques magazine by Montano St. Jules. The winning photograph is of a baby being held with two sets of hands in a bowl shape. Extremely evokative photography, both. As for your son here, I have re-looked at this photograph many, many times since it first appeared on this board with total - and I'll say it again - amazement (and envy). I find also the near ominous looking black spot in the middle as not only an interesting aspect of the photography, but as a parallel of sorts to some looming fate in the children's hospital (not necessarily with your son, thank Goodness). Your son, facing the dot, seems to be strangely protected by it.(posted 8441 days ago)OK, OK. It's obviously time for bed. I'm taking an aspirin before I go. :-)
