Jeff and Karen have photos peppered about their house, as we do, and this one (sons Dash at 4 and Travis at 2 with buddy Adam in the middle) is one I wish I’d taken.
I love the three-stages-of-completion popsicle(s). That, the ever-more-upright arm, and the ever-taller child give it an animated quality that is very entertaining. But I’m fascinated by you wishing you’d taken it, Mike. I wonder if the photographer intended anything beyond capturing a cool, sweet moment in the lives of these three boys. Does anyone remember what they were looking at?
Oops, I MEANT “Does anyone remember what the boys were looking at?” but I seem to be also musing on whether any parent-photographers remember making an artistic decision about what THEY were looking at. *I* never did, unless you call “this won’t show up, back-lit like this” or “I better bounce the flash off the ceiling so I won’t get red-eye” artistic decisions.
