Purple Flower

Taken yesterday, I was blessed with a new camera! I am now the proud owner of a Canon Eos DSLR D40. Very exciting. I really enjoy this depth of field, and the color popping out from the black.

This image represents to me my clinging to my daughter's being 'little'. She has these hands with dimples, and when I complain that she is growing up too fast, she just shows me her hands and I calm down. As long as they look like this, Ill be okay. It is a losing battle, I know. But its this image I feel joy in capturing. I had it in color and then once i posted it on here, i realized i hated it in color. I feel Black and White makes it more nostalgic, timeless, and takes out the seasonal distraction.
