Sleeping Angels

Sleeping Angels

Sleeping Angels, photo by Harold Davis.

When Phyllis puts Katie Rose to bed, she sits holding our little angel. Often Phyllis falls asleep herself.

Like Katie Rose in Chiaroscuro, this is an extremely low light image. The only source of illumination was a night light in Katie’s little nursery. I boosted the sensitivity, handheld, and intentionally underexposed to create an area of illumination around my sleeping angels.
