This image was created upon my return to say a final goodbye to my dad in September of 2008 as he passed away from Multiple Myeloma. Having always admired her I asked dad's next door neighbor if I might capture her portrait. She agreed. When I saw the bible in her hands and zoomed in I didn't realize at that moment what was being created. The final image moves me every time I view it. A fellow photographer shared that he felt this is the most powerful image I have ever created.
I decided to donate all the proceeds generated by this image to Meals on Wheels in honor of my father. Dad was extremely generous with his time and money to charity and church. He was still delivering Meals on Wheels to "the old folks" the year he died at age 87.
This image would make a great gift. Do you know someone who could use some "Enduring Comfort?" Available as a Museum Mount Gallery Wrap or printed on Premium Luster Photo Paper with Pigmented Ink. Image hand-signed by the artist.
