Even with some lack of focus, I'm very happy with these pictures, and grateful to the parent who permitted me to take them.

#10 my selection.. light, contrast.. rumekintun · 2007-05-28: 21:47

Yes, my favorite too. I was going to post just that one, but I didn't have enough restraint. If only the top of his right hand had been in the frame! JuliaGotz · 2007-05-28: 21:51

I'm inspired by this set. bebe... you're right.... life is not a dress rehearsal! monkeyface · 2007-05-28: 22:04

Great set. I love reminders like this of how free we once lived. Then we get older and wiser (?) and much more up tight. The worries of the world begin to weigh us down and squeeze the enjoyment from life. Photography is one of the ways I "live free" again. It is a creative, expressive and enjoyable outlet. Thanks Julia...these are great! t2d4th · 2007-05-28: 22:10

The whole set is delightful.....but I agree about E10. It's my favorite also! Carley · 2007-05-28: 22:12

fantastic set! these are great a ta true reminder of our carefree childhood days! MidsummerSilence · 2007-05-28: 22:57

A fun set. I'm partial to #7 - the lower perspective, the focus, and the motion of the little boy. Curious - they look like they are mostly playing - but was there some wind up and "belt you with the wet towel" sibling action here? ????? · 2007-05-28: 23:00

7 and 10, yes. Dance in its purest form. tortoise · 2007-05-29: 00:00

Extremly true and vivid set... ????? · 2007-05-29: 11:56

Great set. Looks like fun. mattdross · 2007-05-29: 17:09

I consider myself lucky if I catch a fleeting glimpse of childhood now and again. And here you caught several expressive, psychological and spontaneous moments. Great set of photos, artistically arranged, sez Gustav! ????? · 2007-05-29: 23:37

Great lighting in these shots! ????? · 2007-05-30: 05:53

the 3rd one is awesome...but I certainly love all of them! FromMyInside · 2007-05-30: 05:54

the light reflecting off the outline of their bodies & the way you framed them is great. SIMages · 2007-06-03: 09:49
