Hot babe

This is Gabrielle asleep in the swing today. She's going for that totally-effortless-really-cool-chick look. Every waking moment of my life has been dedicated to looking this cool, and my progeny strikes the pose in her sleep. Unfair. (Okay, everybody - that was a joke.)



Is this picture

a) a stunning portrait of the soft, calm beauty of childhood
or
b) an unsettling snapshot of an albino baby with no eyebrows?

Grandpa Don and I are having a debate. This is a scan of a picture I took with 35 mm black & white film, and he thinks it's weird. I like it. Cast your vote via the "comments" button below. No pressure.

    It is a very beautiful picture. Perfect in every way. Cool cool cool cool cool. Pay no attention to DW, as he has no idea what he is talking about.

    Leonardo da Vinci would be inspired by this black and white photo of Gabrielle.

    The artist in me says that all the tenants of design have been adhered to in a tender and evocative portrait. The Great Aunt in me says ...she is my gorgeous, precious Grandniece and therefore how could the photo be anything but perfect? I love it!
