one of my favorites...

As a photographer, you acquire personal favorites of the images you have captured.  You are drawn back to these again and again and are reminded of why you are a photographer.  This is one of my favorites.  It is of our son, Max, just outside the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican in Rome.   Max sat on the bench to rest and reflect for a moment.  I turned and saw it -- it was perfect -- the layering of the fresco, the light, Max's pensive mood -- Wow!  I just had to capture it.  I cherish this image.  I had it printed on a very large canvas and it now hangs in our living room.  I never look at it that I don't still marvel.  It takes me back to both Italy and the son that I love.
