This is one of my favorite pictures from this year's Spring Break beach trip.
The photos I pick out are rarely anyone else's picks. This one for example is so dark you can't see the childrens' faces. Wouldn't matter since they're facing the other direction. Their faces aren't the point of the picture for me though. Maybe it's just special to me because I know it's them - I know their profiles so well; I know Jr Mint's cowlick and head shape and #1 son's body, the shape of his feet and that low, lowwwww spot where his pants band sits.
This picture is so meaningful because of the moment it captured between them. The shadows just made it even better. It sort of makes me feel as though I have to guess a little about the detail in their expressions. I really wonder if #1's eyes, especially the right one, are squinting a bit from mischief, or if they're big and round from the onset of a great idea he's explaining to his brother.
I'm having this one transferred onto a canvas and stretched over an artists' frame.

I think it's a great picture for the same reasons you do. I don't know them as only a mother can, but the picture still captures brotherhood and we can all make up our own details.
and title this special photo "Brotherhood"...............Tie I love that photo
