I hope they treasure the portrait for the exuberance and pleasure you captured, instead of some "perfect" boring pose they might have been imagining.<BR/><BR/>Your portrait not only makes me smile, it makes me tear up a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477449.post-6624202779300887862007-11-14T13:54:00.000+00:002007-11-14T13:54:00.000+00:00Paul and Madga, I love this portrait.

I am glad you posted it, Paul.<BR/><BR/>Looking at this image has prompted me to revisit an image of mine. On November 11, 2007, I posted an article about Depth of Field in a Digital Age on my Photography and the Creative Process web site at www.wmgphotoblog.com, illustrating that article with a color photograph on which I had been working. I was ambivalent about the image from the start but included it in my post nonetheless because it was a good example to illustrate my point. <BR/><BR/>Today I posted on my site a note discussing my ambivalence. <BR/><BR/>The image you posted in "A Day in the Life . . ." is a prime example of portait photography that is ALIVE!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this picture.<BR/><BR/>Bill Gatesman<BR/>www.wmgphotoblog.com<BR/>www.wmgphoto.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477449.post-57258079877494248622007-11-06T09:52:00.000+00:002007-11-06T09:52:00.000+00:00This image is magical to me for 2 reasons.
