Sibling Love

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 10 February 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Love is harder to find (photos of) than I thought - at least in winter. It's easy to find symbolism and pre-packaged sentiment, though. Anyway, this moment is genuine, and I enjoyed witnessing it.

I tried a cross-processing technique that Aidan linked to. Fun Stuff!

Hi-Res here, and as a bonus, here's an alternate take.

I like the cross processing, I tried that once but I did it to a train and no one commented hehe. Perhaps its all about the subject. As for finding love, I think once you know what you are looking for you can find love everywhere around you. (Ok, so its a hippy moment) I think the whole idea rocks and I am sure you will find enough love to fill volumes.

@Rene: Thanks, Rene! I should perhaps restate that I found it difficult to document overt expressions of love during this time. It was an interesting challenge, though. Maybe next year I'll have more success.

Great job with the recommendation. I want to try it someday too and I think you've done it justice.

I didn't know babies wore glasses. She looks cute nonetheless.

@Angry Buddha: I guess they have a way of testing them at a very young age. My nephew wore glasses at least from toddlerhood. Thanks, Sean.

The technique has worked very well. Very nice quality to the image. And great subject matter and composition.

@Duncan Galbraith: Indeed, thanks, to Aidan! It was a very charming scene, and I'm sure I didn't do it justice. Cheers, Duncan!
