Elegant Memories
Uploaded: February 23, 2006
1/125s f/11.0 at 90.0mm iso100 with Flash - Tamron 90mm Macro. My goal here is to show that even in the process of aging and eventual death there is beauty. The old stereotype gives beauty and value to the fullness of eternal youth. I believe this needs to be challenged through a deeper acceptance and appreciation of the aging process and elegant memories.
