Families Together…


Families Together

Golden Christmas moment in silence. Ageless beauty of childhood, dreams, and innocent memories… Simple grace, yet solid form.

Compositional elements are exquisite - essentially, graceful child and golden light as primary theme. The secondary theme is woman glancing at faint picture. A tertiary theme is subdued table, chair, and glasses creating a frame.
Nevertheless, it's as if this beloved child, amplifying golden light, cradled in some internal yet infinite wisdom, has graciously raised one hand to pray "Jesus, ..."
As the child departed for home, blue eyes awash with tears and arms full of warm hugs, we were able to clearly see how much being with all her family meant for Christmas, 2008!

May your Christmas have taken you to such limits of emotional and digital satisfaction! Happy New Year…
