Nixon, Nicholas (b. 1947), American photographer. He is known for his extraordinary photographs of ordinary people. I love photography as kind of art. In this picture, the woman's hands hold a child. We do not see what these woman and the child look like. This photo like a symbol of caring, love, protection. For me, it has  one more meaning. Not only the manifestation of love of the parents, but also a manifestation of God's love as  father to people as his children. From this picture breathes warmth and tranquility. There is something to think about.
