The Call: Henry and a Good Book — Cheryl
O dear Jesus, I humbly implore you
to grant your special graces to our family.
May our home be a shrine of peace,
purity, love, labor, and faith.
I beg you, dear Jesus, to protect and bless
all of us, absent and present,
living and dead.
Amen.
— Catholic Family Prayer Book
The Response: Home is Where the Shoes Are — Jessica
The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
for children grow up, as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.
— Song For a Fifth Child Ruth Hamilton
Very nice portrait of Henry — and I really like the brown tones of the b & w! Nicely done! : )
That’s a lovely poem, Jessica, and your shoe shot makes me feel right at home.
I pushed the envelope in Photoshop a little bit (for me) and like the results. Thanks for inspiring me to get more artsy with my post production work.
Where did you get that picture of me as an eleven-year-old boy?
I think this format, Call & Response, is the boiled-down essence of both of your artistic pursuits. It fits you well, and the content is straightforward while at the same time deep.
I love it.
