-Debby #859597

Amy N. Cappelli October 20, 2004

ah, but the beauty has not faded, only changed- it is beauty on an unpretentious level, a very honest level.
there is a sense of permenancy, not anymore in the act of "becoming."
the photo is quite emotive- a reminder that moments of beauty in youth are fleeting, giving way to more delicate and rich versions of ourselves.
It's a wonderful image all around, Stephen :-) #859612

William C. Raco level-classic October 20, 2004
