Subtle Reflection
Staring at this photo stirred up some pretty strong emotions and memories of KK's vanishing twin. Something about her "barely there" reflection hit me in a soft place. Anyway, I've been playing with my new camera and I love it - although I still don't know what I'm doing most of the time. One thing I know: as far as lighting goes, if you live in a house facing north you'd might as well live in an underground cave. Our house is always so dark! (As far as photograpy lighting goes, anyway.) I'm not complaining, I'm very happy with our house, but more natural light would be sooooo lovely. I took this picture at a friend's house today while KK was gazing out of an east-facing window. If we ever move, we'll face east or west. Definitely. In the meantime I guess I'll just have to save up for some umbrella lamps and Photosh*p! : )

That's a great picture!
We have the same problem with lighting when taking pictures. In my experience, you've gotta capture them next to a window, or just go outside. Using the flash tends to kill the details in their sweet little faces.
oh wow...I am absolutely speechless. This photo is simply stunning. wow...wow...and wow some more. I'm sorry to hear about the memories that it stirs up. It makes the photo all the more beautiful to hear the story behind it, but painful at the same time. I like how you chose b&w.
