My contribution this week is one of my favorites. It was seen during the Places I Love week and thankfully can be seen again! This time I converted the image to black and white and cropped in a little closer.
I took the photo on an excursion to Chalk Ridge Falls, TX. The babe was only 10 months old.
I like the image because I believe it exemplifies motherhood.
Humbly, I also think it juxtaposes Dorothea Lange's photo "Migrant Mother." In Ms Lange's photo we see the worried despair of a mother during the Great Depression (you can view Ms Lange's work at the Library of Congress or by doing a quick Google search--Ms Lange (1895-1965) was a pioneer and inspiration for women photographers everywhere).
In my photo, we see a modern American mom filled with hope and faith, knowing that we live in a day and age where we control our own destiny and even if today is bad, tomorrow will be better.
Thank you for your indulgence!

I really love this picture... and even more, I love your commentary. Truly a juxtaposition; bad economies in both cases, but this time around, we do seem to have more. More hope, more faith, more teamwork... maybe we actually did learn from the past, at least a little. Well done, Yuki!
