Asher has asked me to post this photograph. It probably should go in the event section, but I'll give this a go.
Here's some information about the photograph. In May of this year Maurine Ryan turned 100 years old. This is the moment that she is blowing out the candles of her "100" shaped birthday cake. Certainly not an everyday birthday. However, Maurine herself is a rather extraordinary women. She founded a group called the Audubon Student Naturalists and has touched thousands of peoples lives. I'm lucky enough to have her as a grandmother figure in my life.
An odd side story here for me is that her late husband Al was also a photographer. She has told me on more than one occassion that I remind her of him. He was a landscape/nature photographer and over the last 5 years of shooting such subjects I always keep him in mind.
Critiques, comments, and questions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Phil
