No that look in her eyes has nothing to do with worries about the coming new year, or bad memories of the year that is just about gone. Nope, it's a concern that her daddy will make her sit still for more pictures!
I spent some time in a hospital this week, doing what you do in hospitals- (whether you are a patient or not- I was not) waiting. So after a while i went out and got a camera and took this picture. Because I used my digital leica, which is a wonderful camera- the color is all screwed up. I guess if I didnt use it mostly for black and white I wouldn't think it was so wonderful. And thats what I intended this and the others at my flickr site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/25099302@N03/?saved=1 ) to be- black and white. But I like the way they work in color, and even better- more subtle, in finished prints. So much, in fact, that if you send me an e-mail with your mailing address, and which image you want, I will mail you a print.
We got a "liittle snowstorm" here in Cental Texas this week! The roof is gone from the stable, Joseph is on his butt, the animals and the manger are covered in snow! Kind of like the world seems to be going right now, everything confused- nothing to get happy about, and little of nothing to count on. Me, I'm deep down into the dark of depression myself. But. But. But this I know in my heart, throughout my soul, no matter how much snow fills that manger, how destroyed the world seems, if we only open our hearts we can- we will recieve the true gift of Christmas. That of Jesus. God born to US!, in the lowest of settings to bring US HIS Love! Don't miss out! Like Reuben said........... Its free Mama, take it!
I was born in Texas and have lived here all my life.I have been taking photographs for more than sixty years. I have been married for forty-six years. I have been a father for twenty-two years.I still have the second camera and the second car I ever bought. A Miranda G and a 65Mustang.
