This was parents weekend at my younger son’s school and his sister and I drove up yesterday. Parent-teacher conferences and campus tours. Mostly, I was looking forward to getting a peek into his dorm room. Usually the residence halls are off limits for visitors but we had a two-hour window for seeing where he lives yesterday.
Totally candid photo. I’m still not consistently getting results with my silhouettes but this one was pretty great, IMHO. I did darken it just a tad but that was about all I did, other than crop and resize.
It’s such a contrast to who he is, this somber silhouette. This is my joker child, the fun-and-games kid, the mischief maker. He’s always so animated and quick with a smile. Little moments like this remind me that he is so much more, though.

Oh, how I love this. My Jacob is the same way so in those rare somber moments, all I can do is just sit and stare at him.

This looks like a still from a beautiful movie or something. Your daughter must think he is the coolest. I have an older brother who is 8 years older than me, and I always thought he was the coolest.
Have a nice weekend, Mary.

I think it is a wonderful shot…it make me want to create stories about who this boy is…
