Photo Obsession

For a while now, I've been drawn to photographs of children. There's something about the innocence of youth that can be so moving (and I can already cry buckets of tears for anything that has to do with children). Usually, it's the black and white photos of children in the past that I'm most drawn to. These images of Parisian children all remind me of Sophie, somehow. I'm thinking of buying these prints and getting them framed for one of the girls' bedrooms.
