Feelings captured...

I have been working on restoring some pictures for my mom and grandmother.   It is very painstaking work and has taken me much longer than I ever anticipated.   

I am really enjoying it though.  I am seeing pictures of my mom and uncles that I have never seen before.  I love seeing them young and silly.  I love seeing my grandma young and radiant.  I don't remember much about my grandfather.  He passed when I was two or three and I have enjoyed getting to know him a bit through pictures.  

In my work I came across this picture. 

I didn't change much about it except the crop.  It's funny how as a photographer I should be seeing how the colors are too washed out, or that there is some burn out happening on my grandma and grandpa.  

But all I can see is what my grandma is feeling right at that moment.  A little bit of peace in the sun with the man she chose to spend her life with.  

Beautiful.
