I love the shadows in pictures of children (kids being a very common subject of home movies and photographs, check out This episode of 'This American Life and this documentary from folkstreams.net, a website I just discovered and can't wait to explore more, for evidence and insights on this effect)
Inherent in a picture of a child, and part of the reason so many are taken, is the knowledge that they're growing and this captured moment is profoundly fleeting. Shadows talk about time and growth, throughout a day, throughout a life, in a second.
