I have a copy of this photograph on my wall. i like what it represents, the idea.
The way Dan Eldon was able to incorporate himself into his surroundings and capture moments that would otherwise never be seen, capture hope as well as the darker sides of existence.
This for me symbolises a new beginning of sorts; the chance to learn from each other, to discover what each of us is like, learn from all walks of life.
The solider with his out stretched arms allowing the child in, to learn, to not be afraid. The child reaching out wit almost his whole body with that innocence we all have at that age which is expressed on his face.
When i look at this i think how far we have come and evolved as a society, but i also think how far we have yet to go and how much we have yet to learn and understand. But with hope, determination and respect for one another we take small steps each day toward a better future...
