It is a lovely image, how sad not to know who they are. I have a case full of old family photos with too many faces unknown to me.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-28608138709888703732011-07-25T23:14:23.436+01:002011-07-25T23:14:23.436+01:00Thank you so much Kate.

We see them with whole lifetimes yet to unfold, while still conscious that those same lifetimes have come and gone.<br /><br />It's a beautifully composed photograph, and the children indeed look as though they have some concerns!Mark D.

We love the idea of the studio 'backdrop'. Do you think that there was a selection from which to choose?Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
