All ears, Shanghai, China, 2006

A father comforts his son on the seat of a Shanghai bus. Their ears seem to be listening to each other. I framed this image tightly to emphasize those ears, and bring a sense of intimacy to this image. The noise and chaos of the bus fades. In this moment, only the sound of love can be heard.

****A true moment of silent communion between father and son. The subject is a cliche -- we have seen this scene thousands of times. Yet this stands out from them all. Why? Because of its simplicity, the two ears listening in silence for sounds of love yet to come. A very intimate image, abstracted by black and white and your over the shoulder vantage point.

I can just feel the touch of his soft cheek and instantly sense his feeling of safety and security there on that shoulder. Jenene
