A. Help a friend discover chiropractic

This is the most intimate image – two children exploring and discovering their shared world. The focus is simple – a stick between floor boards - but their momentary lives are filled with this single thing. There is a generosity in their play. The boy holds the stick, happy with the girl’s attention. Big brother. The girl shares the moment, happy to be invited in. Little sister. More than the other images, we feel the closeness of their relationship – they are blood. Forever is their bond, yet now only young. Not despite their age, but because of it, the viewer experiences the truth of friendship. And of the journey shared. We remember that unjudged acceptance, and the unforced rhythms of grace that are childhood moments in time.

Artist’s note:
Both boy and girl are explorers. This was one of the easier images to take. Unforced, they sat so still. In photography, unlike many other artforms, decisions about shutter speed, aperture, light direction, angle of view, edge of frame distractions, and depth of field are instant. Digital technology allows post-production editing now, but when shooting print film, it is important to get it right the first time. Most of the images were taken during unstructured play, and this peaceful playtime allowed the most thinking time. I followed them to their favourite place, and they shared a wonderful thing – each other. I only used one frame. PC
