This picture shows a beloved expression between two siblings saying goodby. It was sister's first day of school and little brother was having a hard time letting her go. The photograph was taken by a friend of mine who is mother of these two beautiful children. Through the eyes of her camera, she was able to catch an unposed moment shared by sister and brother. There is a sweet innocence in this living moment that makes me think of God's intended plan as to how we should be with one another.
A quote comes to mind by Robert Frank..."There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment".

The photo is part of his reflection entitled "1000 Posts". He writes in part, quote.... "As a cover photo today I use a photo I took last Saturday on a photography outing to the remaining limited countryside in rural Malta. I found this man sitting alone, with just nature around him, no wires, no tower cranes, no cell towers, but just himself, his God and a peaceful atmosphere around nature's blessing."

I can identify with this quote by Diane Arbus, "Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies." Regarding this quote, you have to really like Oreo cookies to understand!
