Were he facing the camera, he'd merely be one of three. But in 3/4 profile, he stands out. Sets himself apart. Also notice his hand resting on the books.

Haha like the idea of you being lost and your father looking to see if the bus is coming. All wearing flat caps and holding your bikes.

In any case, I didn't know that photographers sometimes burnt in missing family members - fascinating. I now feel inspired to burn Genghis Khan into all of my family pictures (I'm sure we're related somehow.)Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-79124362027174074522010-07-13T19:32:01.282+01:002010-07-13T19:32:01.282+01:00You have given a new value to old lost picks and t...You have given a new value to old lost picks and to my attention.I used to wonder what they were good for now I read how they inspire imagination,history and more.
