Mas no digáis que, a pesar de acatarlo, no es hiriente para los ojos, como para la mano esperanzada, saber que hasta el propio hecho de amar lleva consigo la triste cárcel de sus sombras. Sergio Arlandis, de “Caso perdido” 2010 Photo by Herbert List

Sarah Choate Sears' portrait of her daughter Helen, along with John Singer Sargent's painting, both from 1895. Sargent wrote this to her: "How can an unfortunate painter hope to rival a photograph by a mother? Absolute truth combined with absolute feeling."

Luminous angel babby from my collection, ca. 1960s.
A color photo of a delicate and fluffy white medium-haired cat sitting on a window ledge. They are looking at the camera. What makes this photo extra special is that the cat is backlight by the sun coming through the window, the light illuminating their fluffy hair making them appear glowing and angelic.

The bird photos will continue until morale improves
Two Mourning Doves, beige soft-looking birds with long tails and pink feet, sit on top of a shepherd's hook bird feeder that is decorated with a metal bird. The doves are sitting so close to each other they are touching, which is super cute and why I took a feeder picture in some random neighbor's yard.

- what we fail to notice -
Vertical double exposed photograph of what must be several blossoms of white hemlock, captured in a green field. There is a soft blurry sheen all over the photo, and some bright spots / bokehs of light. They were created through double exposure.
