About We were away from home for a couple of months that really reflected the Circle of Life. Within that two months, we said good-bye to my wonderful 92 year old Mother-In-Law and welcomed our new grandson. They are opposite ends of life, but equally important. In this, I tried to show the opposite but equal aspects--life, death; young, old; a beginning and an ending; day and night.
All parts are pictures I have taken. For the one, I used a star filter on a sparkling summer day. I chose the Ying-Yang design as it portrays the interconnectedness of all things.
I do hope the symbolism shows through and that you like it.

Original idea! Well executed. Excellent work.

Outstanding techniques - great presentation & perfect for the project and filled with symbolism - you achieved what you set out to do. I do hope this one photo compilation of various photos you have taken will be cherished and get placed in your grandson's baby book. So meaningful - it's not just as a generational photo - but is so revealing of your thoughts. Well done. Jan

Mary, What a fantastic idea! I've never seen anything quiet like it before and your execution of this is perfect. I'm sorry for your family for the lose of your Mother in Law yet know the addition of a baby is always a joyful event. The image you produced is sure to be treasured by your family for generations.
Warm Regards, Dwight

wow... amazing, you 'use' very nicely that well known shape and you really put a 'best in project' photo for that category, everything looks like opposite but after that everything 'collaged' so nicely, like that two main shapes, different but ...same!!! PERFECT!
into my favorites, that is a great job!


Mary Brown   {K:67759} 2/2/2008
Thanks, John. I am flattered that you have added this to your favorites.

Coming and going are the cycle of life.But your way of presentation is very unique because of the nice artwork with your own creations and both of them belong to your family.I felt sorry for your Mother-In-Law and congratulation for the little cute one.Wish I will get my grand mother like you in my next birth who can make a lovely unique album for her grandchild.


Erland Pillegaard   {K:20081} 7/9/2008
Very good idea and picture
