Tomoko Uemura in Her Bath
by Eugene Smith 1971
This photo shows that love can take many forms and especially love for ones own kid is the most powerful of them all. Where most parents love their kids when they’re healthy and normal other parents love their kids for simply being alive and feeling a deeper connection beyond the physical realm. In this photo we see the mother romantically staring into her daughters eyes with passion of care that can only be understand when the viewer had felt the same type of connection.
Eugene Smith documented the effects of water pollution in the city where this family lived.
