THE FINAL PRINT – BUT DOES IT

CONVEY THE EMOTION I WANT?

This print certainly has a look to it,

but is it what I want? In part, yes:

the black nothingness of the

backdrop evokes a feeling of

emptiness in me and I am reminded

my daughter is no longer a baby

(where have the intervening years

gone?). Now 13 years old she is

very much her own person, wearing

Doc Martens boots and trainers,

and most definitely tying her own

laces! However, I am still waiting

for her to polish her school shoes.

Might there be an opportunity for

humour in that particular image?
