Marilyn

6-52/2012 ~ Marilyn, a photo by DinsPhoto on Flickr.

A trip to Chicago means a visit with the gyn-oncologist...and an Adventure in the City. After battling serious anxiety demons prior to my ride through the CAT scan "donut", the news [again] was fabulous and the celebration began!

I chose this photo of Marilyn on Michigan Avenue as my Photo of the Week for many reasons, but the simplest and most significant reason is how moved I was by the child-like joy in her face. Sometimes in the concrete, bustle and cold of the city, our sense of play is lost. After great news from the doctor, the grin within my body was almost as big as hers...

We traveled to Chicago with our two oldest daughters. Since there is no significant lighting on this giant statue, Alyssa, who is herself a photographer, held my SB600 off-camera to my left to create depth and to light Marilyn's face...(sorta like working with a 26ft tall model!).
