You know, Jack, I watched this pair for about 5 subway stops before they rushed to get off. They were sitting there playing a spelling game. The mother would point to an advertisement and the boy would read it, or she would spell a word on a sign and he'd have to find the sign and point to it. They were laughing and hugging and I kept "missing them". It was wonderful to see, but I was getting frustrated! ;-) I got one lame shot of them that really didn't convey the warmth and love between this mother and son. Then just as we pulled into a station they lept up and ran for the door and I managed to get the shot you see here. I was glad to have captured those smiles. They really made my day - not the photograph, it was just heartwarming (on a dark, cold, rainy day) to see such loving interaction between two people in public. BTW, when I got off the subway, this is what I saw: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2009/03/sunday-morning-rain.html ...so those smiles were needed! Thanks to you and Cotty for your kind words. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
