Securing Shadows

Abstract

In the darkroom, my six-year-old lays on the floor. She fidgets as I lay pressed f lowers around her and a paper bird at her fingertips. I carefully arrange her hair as if caught mid-f light and she holds her well-loved bunny. I ask her to be as still as possible and then I turn on a light for five seconds, exposing the photosensitive paper beneath her.
