I really really really like this image but I don't know why. It just is 
immediately compelling for me.

Sometimes it's not what we see.

Or sometimes its what we always see, yet don't see because we always see it. 
And that's precisely what I try to convey in the Day In Our Life stuff. As 
an outsider observing other people's mundane lives I find I tend to see 
those little moments that make up all our lives, moments that don't register 
precisely because we see them so often. Anyone who has kids has seen that 
scene in that or a very similar form...and it stirs up all sorts of memories 
of parenting, and probably of our own childhoods....

Okay, okay, enough psychobable.....:-)
