Wonderment

The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us. - Eugene Lonesco

 

This is definitely a departure for me since it's a collaboration -- with my company's internet shop manager, Vanessa Spencer. She took this picture of her daughter, Izzy (original below) and I begged her to let me process it. I cropped and straightened it, desaturated color with the sepia action, brought back some original color, added softness, applied a texture, and added a very light vignette. I don't normally put quotes into my images, but this one seemed perfect for a few words on childhood.

 

Thanks Vanessa!
