Aww! This one is brilliant! The colours and the way they float are just perfect!

the colours always intensify the frame -- into seeing more than the usual -- like the randomness of the moment created -- always remembered -- later days

It strange to watch someone else's children grow up in photographs.

honestly, i am surprised on this photo as how many see it as a portrait. i see it as emulsion, orange, green, cyan, silver, grain... i see it as the colors of time-zero with surreal looking children standing in the midst of the color.

I, for one, saw the surreal element first. But I must concur with everyone else, it looks very much like a portrait the longer one looks at it. I've noticed that the valuability of the film and the irrevokability in each shot means that every photo taken with it has that much more meaning. I don't think this would be nearly as overwhelmingly surreal for me without the specific colors of the specific film.

A tragedy indeed. You should have seen the way I spazzed out when I heard they were discontinuing 126. But your time-zero work is a lot more interesting than 99% of what I could even aspire to when I was shooting 126.

Closeness to the subject. You photograph them constantly as mothers do. The closeness of them when the urge to shoot hits explains much. But, none the less, the result is that wonderful side effect which plagues and pleases; work taking on a life of its own. If, after you're gone, a curator collects and writes about your work, it will be from the angle of a mother's loving photographic presence in the lives of her children and all that can imply with a footnote about the surreality of their forms in the color of Time-Zero.

i don't think i'll have a biographer or curator. i don't even think i stand a chance of getting a book of time-zero shots put together and published. i learned from +cweeks how much money a photographer has to put up for her/his own book! anyway, love the comment. i am as close to the medium in this case as to the photographic subject (not as to the actual kids, of course, to whom i am much closer). thanks.

You're children are incredibly lucky to have parents who have captured their childhoods so wonderfully; they're pictures that they'll treasure.
