If I had to pick an all time favorite film genre, I would have to go with Film Noir. My love of the ‘hard­boiled­ness’ of the sto­ries aside, the most amaz­ing aspect of these films that cap­tured me as a life long stu­dent of film & pho­tog­ra­phy was the aes­thetic. Dark, brood­ing, styl­ish, strange, sinister…the adjec­tives describ­ing these visu­ally stun­ning films could con­tinue for hours.

Tak­ing thou­sands of pho­tos of my chil­dren over the past two years I asked myself, why are most of the shots float­ing across the flickr­sphere almost exclu­sively smil­ing happy babies. What about the darker and stranger images from our tots early years? Here are a few of mine:
