This is actually from a series of pictures that my sister has been sending me over the last week, but it is my favorite of them. Somehow, she knows when I'm feeling down and knows exactly how to cheer me up with pictures of my dog and my nephews! Every time I see this picture, it always elicits a laugh and makes me miss my family so much, and yet keeps me going because I know that soon I'll get to see them all, including my doggy! The lighting in this picture is a bit washed out from the extremely bright sunlight coming in from the window behind my nephew's head, so if it were not so bright that the effect this picture has on me would be even stronger still, which is saying something. I like the shadows and definition of depth in the picture as it creates a very stark contrast to the dark background and really brings attention to the foreground where the silly action is taking place. Thus, my eye never strays from them and keeps my attention active in the picture. I love that these kinds of picture keep me going and give me hope that all this stress will soon melt away into joy and laughter when the break comes. :)

Really nice post - I particularly like the softness on the boy
ReplyDeleteGreat dog - corgi?
I have a part corgi and have grown up with them - great dogs!!!
Lonnie- Actually, she's a Basenji mix.. and we are not too sure what she is mixed with. I absolutely adore corgis, though, and I've always wanted one. Please tell me you've seen the corgi-flop youtube video? It's a must see!
