Mommy's pregnant!

Lucia seemed delighted with her mother's pregnancy, as were the two mommies, Nikki and Christian.

I've just returned from the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival with hundreds of photos but, more importantly, with countless memories of heart connections, humor, beauty, playfulness and unconditional love. I'll be putting up galleries of photos in the coming days, but wanted to start with this moment that touched me deeply.

This is yet another image that I have Phil Douglis to thank for inspiring me to abstract further. I'd already abstracted it pretty well in the taking, but when I saw his abstracted photo of the Grand Canyon athttp://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/83714408, I knew I could get this photo down to its essence by cropping the little girl even more. All I wanted/needed was the mother's belly and the little girl's eyes, smile and hand. So that's where I went. Thanks, Phil.

What makes this image work so well is the degree of abstraction -- leaving us with a sharply focused pregnant belly and a softly focused little girl who seems to be ecstatic. The rest is left to the imagination of the viewer, who can take it wherever he or she wishes. This is what expressive photography is all about, Patricia.
