I am grappling now with these issues Ted and others... these images are pretty benign...especially compared to some images of late, what is it that makes some of these kids images "hard to take" for some; My impression is... these are extremely gentle, compared to "what could be" ? But yes... they are all real, unposed, no special lighting, in hospital, sometimes raw and honest images. I have so carefully "sifted and balanced" choices both in the shooting, and the showing... I ask frankly for all of your thoughts into this most difficult issue...
