Kelton's show

No, Kelton hasn't enrolled in the Stanford Law School, but he was the featured subject in my latest photo exhibit. A member of our photo group shared her space at the Stanford Law School Cafe. Nana and Papa also came and they helped me hang the show which had 9 images from Kelton's first year. I called the show Dynamic Range. Here's the Artists Statement I wrote for the show:

This series of images is called Dynamic Range. All the images were taken during my son’s first year. As a new parent, I was amazed and amused by the variety of emotions my infant was capable of expressing even in his first weeks. These unselfconscious expressions and accompanying sounds were his only means of communication in the preverbal first year. They cover quite a dynamic range familiar to parents everywhere. I hope you enjoy these images of an everyday miracle.

Kelton really seemed to enjoy looking at the images also.
