Hi Steve mon ami,
For sure a keeper first class. Eyes or no eyes, it's the captured moment of
care and thanking.
One can almost hear the mother saying her prayer. Very touching and
emotional.

Its a gut wrencher for those of us who're emotional jerks.

Man the more of these you capture, the more you've go to start assembling
them ready for a book proposal. And at the rate you're going with these
emotional ones it's bound to be a winner of a book.

In the beginning it's quite simple really, just get an 8 1/2 X 11  photo
paper box and every time you have a winner of a picture run off a print ID
it on the back and the collection begins. It's a lot easier than saying to
yourself a few years down the line, "well Ok I'm going to do that children's
book." And start to print several hundred negatives, trust me a very big
pain in the butt. When it's so easy to do them as you go.  get crackin' ;-)
