Photographer’s Note

When you have a mother
who cares so much for you
that anything you want
comes before her desires

When you have a mother
who is so understanding that
no matter what is bothering you
she can make you smile

When you have a mother
who is so strong that
no matter what obstacles she faces
she is always confident in front of you

When you have a mother
who actively pursues her goals in life
but includes you in all her goals

you are very lucky indeed
Having a mother like this
makes it easy to grow up

into a loving, strong adult
Thank you for
being this kind
of wonderful
mother

-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

taken at St. Cergue last week end. The snow was not much, but many people coming to play with the snow, especially kids with the sledge. and when they were tired, lucky them to have mom to pull them :)

To all mothers :) love you.

very nice shot Cessy ,simple time !

avene (10946) 2008-01-23 7:57

superb shot! simple, but eloquent, it perfectly illustrates what your note is about. the composition and framing you have chosen nicely focuses attention on the main subjects of the photo, their bright clothes really stand out against the white snow, and there's nothing distractive. excellent shot, my compliments.
best,
Kristine

A photograph with life in it.

Reminds me of Calvin, of Calvin & Hobbes.

Hello Cessy

A very nice daily life scene. The tight framing is very well seen to focus on this "poor" but happy mum ! Thanks for this lovely poem which illustrates so well your picture.
Strong impact between the vivid colors of the clothes and the pure white snow. Lucky you !
Very nice composition.

Regards,
Karine

What a lovely capture! It's heartwarming and emotional. I bet the mom was no less tired pulling what must be a 40+ kg load. Terrific composition. Best wishes,
Hakan

Hi Cessy,
Excellent photo, very well seen. Very well captured how the mother pulls the tired children on the sledge. The light is fine and the snow with traces a great background. I like the fact that no sky is included. Well done!

Lars

Hello Cessy
Trop drôle ces p'tits bout qui donnent l'impression de dormir sur la luge pendant que leur mère se fatigue à les tirer.
Bonne soirée
Christophe

cbrman (18833) 2008-01-23 22:34

Bravo !

Hi Cessy.

Well done. The snow is always a nice and wonderful element.
And you made a good shot with the difficult light (due to the reflections over the cold snow).
Also is very nice the scene with the children.

Regards.

pboehringer (770) 2008-01-24 16:04

Cessy,
Im not a mother to say thank you, but I have a mother myself and can see my ex-wife doing the same to our children so a thank you for the post is still applicable. The simple moment really gives a very good clue of what is going on here. Your poem reflects its beautifully.

Worth all the gold of the world.

Quite unusual, wonderful production.

And, if I may add...
You don't need dear Cessy, to add a poem to this picture...

YOUR PICTURE ITSELF IS A POEM !!!

(BTW: Much greater than included poem (:-)))

Enthusiastically - two thumbs up.

Hi Cessy
Poor Mum having to drag these 2 funny kids along. I like your tight framing. Talking about Mums, mine phoned from Australia today and my whole day is out of sync as she stayed on for over and hour. I should be doing some work now...

Oh poor mother, how exhausted she is, but no matter, this is a time her children will remember her for.
And it also refresh all the time I spent with my daughters playing in the snow and otherwise.Nothing warms me more then hearing

So thanks for this poem to
