There is always hope...

This one is for my mom who was involved in a horrible car accident 24 years ago this week.  She survived the accident but was left disabled.  

I got it in my head that I should take a picture of this angel.  First off, I couldn't find the power converter.  It took a bit of searching to find one that would work.  Second, she's lit totally from the bottom up, so the first time I tried to capture her picture, her face was in the dark and her body was so bright it would blind you:-(  But, try, try again...  Third, I had this bright idea that the brushed stainless steel dishwasher would make a great background...not!  But, I went back and tried again with some overhead and side lighting and was at least able to do better than the first time.  But, I still ended up enhancing the lines and details of her face in PSE.  PhotoFrame was used to put on the neat 'Zoom' frame.  Boy did I have to fuss with that more than I should have too.  

A shot of the set-up is here:

along with many other versions.

Have a great day, and definitely let your loved ones know how much they mean to you...

This railroad private car at the Galveston Railroad Museum has a sitting and dining room, multiple bedrooms, bathroom with bath and shower, servants quarters and galley.  Several US Presidents have used this particular car.
SmugMug > popular today > This is not a recent shot.  I took it last summer at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival and was looking at that gallery and decided to use it as my daily today.  It is just a reflection in a shop window, but I liked the combination of things that you see.  View the detail in the largest sizes.

Have a great day!
