on the train between Havana and Hershey, Cuba 2012 - I would love to hear a phrase expressing viewer's initial reaction to the photo.

"Is secondhand nicotine healthier than a straight injection?"
Good photo, btw.

Harry, thanks. The fact that no one would respond gave me some indication where people's heads were going with this photo if they had any reaction at all. Now, I have long ago realized this group prefers "sunshine and happiness" photos but you were the first to express.

Bob,
my wife and I stopped smoking when she was pregnant with our first child. We wanted to do everything possible for the health of our baby. SInce then I wonder how a pregnant woman can go on smoking, but I know there can be so many circumstances keeping people on the cigarettes.
I always have an eye on your photos, as I once realized that you shoot with your heart involved.

I thought a lot, but it was too nuanced to try to post it on the internet without being misunderstood.

Thank you, Andrew. The first thing I learned at the academy was that you should never judge a painting by a reproduction of it, but that this should always be done according to the original. The same applies to photos if one wants to assess their print quality. Erik.

This is an old, old Madonna and child photo but I still cherish it. Almost 25 years ago, down in Patzcuaro for Day of the Dead at a street day gathering for some folkloric enactments. FWIW the Mexican native workers are re-enacted as drunks. I do not make the rules, I only observe. Anyway right before me was this mother and child. The child has pierced ears and gold studs.

110 posts since 2013 and only Lynnb (#15) back in 2013 gives indication that Baby and Mother need be human. The rest of us seem to be interpreting the topic by looking down a tube.

Congrats to Lynnnb while the rest of us share the Xerox award.
