This photo shows the bonding of a person with a child through music. This pictures captures this experience in a unique way in which no identities are revealed. I think that this image is representative of the power of music to invoke a respond from even a baby. The focus of this picture appears to be the bassinet, which I believe drills in the point that even a baby will react to something as powerful as music. My initial reaction to this picture, though, was that it is a bit eerie. A baby's arm with no body to be seen confused me as to the purpose of this photo. I thought it was strange that no other part of the baby could be seen. Aside from my initial reaction, I think that this picture exemplifies the brilliance of Ralph Emerson's photography.
