The result of two beautiful sons!
Made some changes in the lighting of the photo to enhance these wonderful marks of life.

I like this shot very much, Morgan. Unusual part of the body to photograph. It tells an interesting story. Great lighting. De Waal Venter #239875Morgan Kallin April 23, 2005
Yes it is unusual, but I find it to be a shame that so many women are ashamed of their marks. They should be proud of bearing the beautiful marks of life, or of giving life! #1284265Susana Ms Heide September 05, 2005
What a beautiful perspective you have on this issue that many women find hard to accept. If all men thought like you then 99% of all women would feel much better about their appearance after bearing children. You've expressed your thoughts in a powerful way through this image! #1805368Kara L. Hendricks September 06, 2005
I agree totally with Susana.. Although not a flattering photo.. I would be incredibly touched by your reasoning and sentiment.. And the wonderful way you see your wife and all the body flaws that come along to bearing children.. A tender husband and father you are.. Coming from a mother of 3... You did good... #1806441Morgan Kallin September 06, 2005
Oh wow, thank you thank you so much for your kind words! I am very touched! /Morgan #1807058Laura E. OConnor September 06, 2005
I agree with the above. Instead of an image of what most women would consider "horrible stretch marks", you have turned them into a loving and amazing badge of womanhood and motherhood and, coming from a man, that is truly admirable. Well done, Morgan! #1807716Morgan Kallin September 07, 2005
