Expiration

Posted on | May 21, 2013 | No Comments

Tonight I went back to last year’s picture folders to see if there was anything that deserved another look or should be marked for deletion. I came across a series of shots and chose a few of them to work on. Here is my favorite redo from that series:

It’s one of a group of roses that are nearing the end of their stay in a vase, working hard to give of itself to the very end.

Just like everything in life, this bloom had a certain measure of time allotted in which it could share its beauty. When that time expired it had not given itself in vain because the feeling it created in the giver and the receiver continued on. The memory of the gift would finally begin to fade somewhat, but through the magic of photography time has been reversed and a moment can be more fully relived.
