Snuggle


I've been neglecting this 'sister' blog and need to get back on the wagon here. This was a photo I took this week of my son and I. Lately it's been rare to have him fall asleep in my arms. I'm usually putting him into his crib awake these days, but it was so nice to snuggle with him the other evening, watching the fire in the woodstove crackle. I prefer portrait work shot in black and white or sepia. Makes everything a little softer, but at the same time the details seem to stand out more sharply. It purifies an image, I think.

I've recently begun a 365 Day project for each of us and the above was a reject for that so I thought I'd include it here on my photo blog. The flickr 365 Day group is quite intriguing; some really inventive stuff going on there by group members. Check it out when you have a moment. You can start one yourself anytime, just make sure you read the rules. Have fun!
