As I was reading the article by Emmit Gowin, it really made me think of the photographs that I take on a regular basis. By all means, they are not probably the best pictures that anyone has seen. But they are my family! Multiple pictures that I try to take that involve my 4 year old end up being her laying on the ground, or hiding her face. These are the times that we will remember forever and they are HER. She is stubborn and will take a picture when she wants to! I like how his pictures of his "new" family are so simple. They are not a big extravagant photo with props or people positioned for a photograph, he photographs them and who they really are. He talks about how his photographs are made of everyday life, those may be the best pictures that someone can take. I very much enjoy just a picture of us being us, we do not have to be staged or even smiling. A picture of US will say so much!
The picture by Emmit Gowin that really caught my eye is the picture of his wife Edith, Elijah and Isaac. It is a "posed" picture of his wife naked and pregnant and their other son right next to her. I love pregnancy pictures! This picture is just so simple, yet so beautiful. Many people may wonder how a naked pregnant lady is beautiful, but pregnancy is a beautiful thing that you should remember forever!
