The Moment


Do we remember moments from childhood? I hope this little girl never forgets this one shared with her father.

  6. I do! I remember going to Musée des Colonies with my Dad on Sunday as a child (less than 4) and being scared by the crocodiles in the vivarium, for instance.

    Even that young a child remember. Smells, magic, a quickened heartbeat.

  9. Bonjour Jilly,
    As Abe said, I think it's a shared moment, and both will remember it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth living these beautiful moments.

  15. For me like Virginia's images of people you do these best. You have a real affinity for people and it sshines through the images. It's a dying art capturing people naturally. Well done.
