Mother & Daughter

This is an enormously personal photo that I took when I was about 22 years old and I

do wish to share it. This was my grandmother after she had a stroke and her

daughter, my mother. My grandmother passed away two years later.

This one really jumped out at me while browsing all the photos - what a great capture of emotion! It does what a great photo should - tell a story without any words!

Great image. Many memories and emotions struck me as I scrolled to this image. The balance of your grandmother looking down as your mother looks to the heavens is striking. Thanks for sharing this very personal masterpiece.

This has a nice, but sad feel to it.

Lovely and poignant. Indeed a masterpiece.

Superbly human photo.

For me the powerful emotions this photo triggers is is what photogrpahy is all about. Wonderful.

Stunning...thank you for sharing it with us.

This one reminds me to my dementing mother, touching

Sadness in both faces. The mother looks down and inward, while her daughter looks at the heavens for guidance, or perhaps, with resentment. This simple human drama from your life represents the widely shared experience of one's parents becoming as needy as children. This is a masterpiece.

Fine portrait Clay.

es difícil transmitir sentimientos tan profundos en una foto, pero no con una buena foto, como ésta

Wow! Thanks everyone for the wonderful and insightful comments. I appreciate it very, very much.

The composition and light are wonderful. The personal nature of this subject keeps it from being exploitative. Excellent photograph!

Your images say what words cannot describe to their fullest.
