The New Mother Photo

Photographer’s Note

A 1st born, 3-days old baby boy Hamza was suffering from infant's jaundice, a common disease that will disappear after one week ; the family knew all this but the mother was not so reassured... There was new love and in the same time some clumsiness, hesitation and amazement in her way to handle the toddler, fortunately she was not alone to care for her first child : in August, her visiting sister-in-law (among others) was very happy to give a helping hand and to care for him.

(Some of you have already seen the new parents ;
Have a look at the loving aunt who had bathed the baby and Hamza's cousin.

... Meanwhile, the young woman was busy with a multitude of daily chores, she was not remaining idle even after having given birth so recently !)

ellerinize sağlık..

Salut Cath,

Tu m'étonnes à chaque fois.

As charming as it is - it's one of these photos of a lost opportunity, dear Cath...
I know your incredible talent of 'using' people, right in there, on the spot - to create the real masterpieces of intimae photography...
It's missing in here...That 'photography' part of it...
It's more like a registration product of your presence in there, than anything else.
Interaction of a mother and child (since the beginning of times) - is the most desirable material to create the ART (with capital letters)...
Judging by yours previous photos with these people in them - you could go sky high ... With her... With the Madonna and her child...
And, even now...
More exciting cropping, maybe the conversion, simple elimination of that dreadful green shoe, get rid of the bluish hue on her scarf and diapers - could probably result in much more 'photographic' output ?

Just the suggestion, Katarzyna...
Nothing more than a free lance speculations...

Love, sister... Love and smile

Hello Catherine,

Your timing is enviable for capturing their expressions together and magnificent relation between them. Light from window is adding great value with dark parts at divan. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Hi Catherine,
the love between a mother and her son don't know any borders.
This is the best message that "noborders" can show to the world.

Hi Catherine

Its very nice the way you knit a little story with a number of pictures. amongst the clumsiness, one can see the mother's touch and her hold. a fine photograph of life in its entirely.

Thanks for sharing
