Hi,

I might sound really stupid, but I keep on wondering who the baby on the cover of Surprise is. I´m not sure, is it one of Paul´s children? And I keep also wondering why they wanted to put a picture of a baby on the cover. Maybe stupid questions, but I just wonder about it.

It reminds me of the ´Ekman´ photographs. Ekman was a clinical psychologist who took pictures of faces trying to capture specific emotions( pure happiness, rage, sadness and well, Surprise.

Thanks Tom :) So you mean the emotion on the face of the baby is a "Surprise" face? That sounds interesting.
Though, I never read anything about the baby in the booklet of the album, so I wonder who it is, and what it has to do with Paul.

Machteld,

I´m guessing it´s just a model, probably unconnected to Paul. Of course, I could be wrong.

It can´t be any of his children...they are all much older.

Unless they took the photo when he STARTED the album! ;-)
