Special Selection: "Beyond That"

Winner of the "Manazashi" photo contest held by the Manazashi Photo Club

I know, mom.
The hand you shyly held out to me during your rebellious phase.
You always say "What the hell is a brother?"
"Thank you" I said in a small voice.

It's okay to fight a lot.
If we have hearts that care for each other.
Beyond that heart lies a gaze.
Beyond that gaze,
Look, there's a smile.

Comment from Advisor

I think this photo captures the brother's kindness and the trust between him and his sister, who has an honest expression on her face. Their hands are gentle as they hold the backpack, and the way they hold it is strong, as if they are protecting their sister, and I was moved by that. The light also gently enveloped the two of them, making this a memorable photo. The mother's gaze was also directed at the two of them, and it warmed my heart to watch.
