My two youngest children, who happen to be twins, play together all day every day. So it's no surprise when Cannon and Mahalia have an argument or don't want to share a particular toy or snack. What does surprise me fairly often is the warmth and love they exhibit for each other. I was blessed to capture this photo one night when we were sitting around a hotel room.
NERDY TECHNICAL DETAILS: For those who are curious, I use a technique involving a camera-mounted flash and a really slow shutter speed. When the shutter opens, the flash fires and captures a partial image of everything it touches. The rest of the image comes from keeping the shutter open. Anything that has remained still during the entire process (or most of it) is rendered solid by the camera. Anything that has moved during most or all of the exposure is rendered transparent. That is why you can see through Mahalia's head, but not through Cannon's. The bright light in the background is the foyer of the hotel room (where the lights were on). The dark portion in the background is the walls of the hotel room itself (where the lights were off).
