The sentence above is “Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.” which is from Mitch Albom’s Tuesday with Morrie written in 1997. I think it is talking about after someone dies, if people miss him and keep him in mind, he would just like still living in your surroundings.
In my design, the long beach represents life. There is an old man walking alone on the beach, meaning that he is still alive. Beside the footsteps he leaves on the sand, there are some woman’s footsteps, which might be belonged to his dead wife. It means even his wife is already died and cannot stay with the old man physically, her spirit is walking along with him. The woman’s footsteps are in grey because they are only shadow, and they only exist because of the old man’s love for his wife.
The sky is in orange because it is during the sunset, which implies the old man is experiencing the later stage of his life. Also, it helps creating a blue but warm atmosphere.

I started with an image of a tree and changed the levels of the image too 41 - 1.32 - 227. I then opened an image of a persons face to by my second image and desaturate the image. Then I dragged and dropped that image of the persons face on top as my second layer. Then I used the brush tool to select the face only to be my selection. I copied the face image as a separate layer, then used the Gaussian tool and got it to be a radius of 2.0 Pixels. Then I duplicated the back layer. With the face on the base layer on the face I changed the Layer Style to colour dodge.

Bit of a cliché but I do love yellow fields - the best ones I saw were while I was driving, but I did manage to take this shot while out for a walk near my sister's house.

Week #31 Texture - Needle in a Hay Stack. While on a bike ride, the rows of hay in the farmer's field on my route caught my attention. I played around with some processing just for fun.
Joy to me is looking back as well as looking forward. I love to borrow my nanas photo albums and flick through the pages. Seeing where I've come from and seeing the family I have made for myself as we grow together through life.
I'm sorry I couldn't choose between them :-)
Sunday was Ben's first soccer game of the fall. He made two saves as goalie and scored a goal on the other side. Very proud! www.CarsonVision.com

I am not religious. My entire family is catholic and I was once, too. At the time you lose your faith, it doesn’t hit you straight away but as time goes by and you struggle with your problems you realise you’re alone and you can’t ask anyone to take the pain away, to solve your problems, to help you trough the storm.. “You are not religious? Well…then you must be a really strong person!” Do you understand the meaning of this? I didn’t, at first. But it comes a time when you need to stop being that strong, it can turn you into ice. One must believe in something, even if it’s not true, if it doesn’t exist. Otherwise, we are lost.

Had difficulty choosing a shot this week. Been four days on a digital photography workshop and then were out for the day yesterday. So a mixture in the form of a triptych, Purple Loosestrife from the workshop and the Heather from the Keepers Pond yesterday.
We've been taking these very expensive trips to Central Market on Sundays. It's a great thing to do with a baby because there's so much for him to see. Plus, we're on this new "cook all meals at home" plan because we got so sick of trying to figure out where to take out food (and how to coordinate the logistics of picking it up). This past week Joel made short ribs with polenta, antipasto-style penne, and baby food for Milo (chicken, yams, and zucchini).
