I created this in response to a challenge at Digital Scrapper to take a photo of something that money can’t buy. I am a guardian, steward, keeper of family treasures and some of those treasures include love letters that my father wrote to my mother after he got back from the war. He was head-over-heels in love with her and it appears that she was giving him the cold shoulder! Looking back I can see that it was just my mother’s nature – she was very undemonstrative. So, money can’t buy such treasures, such memories, such feelings that can’t quite be put into words. I wanted to share these in a way that would be respectful but still give a glimpse of the love of a young man for the woman he wanted to be his wife. I used Kim Klassen’s texture – Serendipity, on soft light. This photo is a ‘lift’ of Kim Klassen’s beautiful ‘Giving Thanks for the Cross‘.
Such beautiful texture work!!
Glad to have found your lovely blog!
Touching image and Indeed money can’t buy keepsakes like this. Nice blog too.
Warmly,
Karla

Really beautiful image! I love your edits-subtle and perfect for the photo. Great job! Love the setup too…it’s like a still from a movie.
