Disturbed Mother -child: 1. An unloving mother is probably more likely to part with a child; the child may sense her lack of affection.
2. The child is not easy to love; in fretting for his mother he tends to reject others; if he does become attached to someone else, he is greedy and jealous in the relationship.
3. On his return to his mother, he may fail to recognize her, or reject her outright, or behave in a possessive and whining manner.
Gestation takes 16 days; 7-15 in litter; young born pink, naked, and blind. Do not disturb young or mother for at least a week after birth; if disturbed mother -child mother will either kill and eat the young or neglect them and allow them to die. After 3 weeks, remove young from mother; otherwise, mother fights with them and often kills them. Sexes should be separated before young reach maturity at 43 days.
To build your set of samples, go to the mother of the most charming child you can find, a child with an intelligent face and bright expressions, and offer to give the mother a picture of her baby without charge if she'll have her child model for you. Tell her frankly that you need the pictures for samples. She will be proud to cooperate.
Then proceed to shoot dozens of pictures of that child.
Shoot several sittings, spacing them far enough apart for you to see the final results of each sitting before you shoot another, and shoot ten times as many negatives as you would in an ordinary sitting.
The idea, you see, is to assemble a set of pictures of this one child which will bring agonies of envy to every other mother who sees this masterpiece set.
