Wonderful work as always. Lisa, your babies seem to grow up at warp speed!

Leaving the technical merits of the image aside, the portrayal of a small, unattended child in the middle of a highway is disturbing. Surprised only 2 other posts before mine mention this fact. I wouldn't show this to the child after he grows up.

Disturbing? We were there for an HOUR and ONE car passed. One car that you could see and hear from a mile away. This 'road' has weeds growing out of it. I like the more abstract merits of the 'road' (what lies ahead, a new life with endless possibilities ahead of him, etc) vs the simple and literal version you seem to be stuck on (ON NOES!!! They left him in the road!). Clearly you do not like my work so I'd appreciate it if you would stay out of my threads from here on out. You are coming across as very trollish. Only 7 posts too. Hmm...

Great images you put out -- keep 'em coming.

And perhaps becasue they are super new with 7 posts they do not know about your work well enough to have an alternate impression.

You are big enough to let this sort of thing go. Right?

Yeah ... disturbing... that's the first impression I get. [/sarcasm]

Great image. I see why you incorporated the wagon in the manner that you did, and while it seems like a fair amount of work, I very much appreciate your pre-visualization here.

Beautiful images Lisa. The fact that the image in the road can take on so many meanings makes it special and more than just a "nice" picture. Keep up the good work. At one time you questioned whether you were a professional or not. You can put that doubt to rest, your work shouts pro. All I can say about your second image is, I want to pinch his cheeks!! He is soooooo cute!!

I love the photo.....if it were my son, I would tell him that is how I found him....left there by aliens! In fact when my son was growing up we used to tell him he was brought here by aliens!

. This would prove it!

.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! I love your stuff! And with the kids it is even better! Thank you for sharing!

maybe the poster probably doesn't realize the miles and miles and miles of lightly traveled roads in Nevada

You raise an interesting question, Lisa. When I made my first post I was giving my impression and not questioning the safety of the photo shoot. My question is thus; should it matter to the viewer what went on in the background of the photo shoot or should the viewer only be concerned with what is presented to them in the final image? Don't photographers select the various scenes because they are trying to evoke a certain feeling? Train tracks, downtown city, parlors, open fields etc. I don't have much to quibble with with the overall lighting of the scene, I just find the image portrays a feeling of abandonment. I hope this makes sense.

I think some folks are reading too much into the photograph. It's merely a combination of common elements in Lisa's photography. To wit:

A favorite prop - The red wagon
One of her children
Pretty scenery
Late day (golden hour) light, arranged so that the weak sun provides rim light
A medium long lens set at an aperture that controls the background
A healthy dollop of Photoshop

I don't think the image was meant to be any more than that. Think "flower arrangement" instead of "psychological novel".

I am reading your update and in the time that has passed I wondered if you might not have had an impression such as what you now describe. I follow what you are saying and I'm glad you came back to open up and comment. When I stepped back, I thought too that some could have an impression this was a disturbing shot, pairing a baby on a wide open street, or train tracks or other dangerous places.
