    i’ve had this page maybe 20 years…i took it out of the
    periodical of Natural History that i’d found. one of my
    worst and always regreted bad habits…to rip out pages of
    things and not make a note of the publication.
    the notation for Mammals of the World is just what i was
    able to find about the photographer, Ernest P. Walker.
    i’d had the idea to try to contact him, to talk to him
    about his study/experience with this BeautyFull One.
    according to the date on my note, that was 2005 and alas,
    he died in 1961.

    how can it be? and i thought, how they just happen.
    we don’t think first and then arrange our face in a
    certain way.
    and how just like me, she is…….

    These are great! My youngest looks just like her when he has to bathe. Furious but defeated.
    I like her smiles. Her features – eyes, nose and mouth – are all so close together.

    Susan..you’re right. features all close. these are the
    things to notice when making an effort to understand
    why a face has such effect…

    I did show these to the boys. We talked about them for awhile, funny was their first thought, of course. Absolutely NO worries on the cd, Grace. I do the same – put things away for safe keeping and they are lost, usually for quite a long time.

    Dru…YES
    there is no self-consciousness, no censoring.
    after all these years, i love her in the exact same way
    i loved her upon seeing these pics for the first time
    and i can’t even know how at all to think of her…
    somewhere in a laboratory or animal study place
    with people seeing how she
    reacts
    to things
    somehow it points out how
    stupid
    we are
    how graceful and Truehearted she is
