Little Angel

Little Angel by JeremyHall.
As mentioned previously, this last weekend I traveled with family to Idaho to conduct funeral services for my mother. It was an emotional weekend while we celebrated her life, sharing great memories.

I tried to keep my camera unobtrusive, but as my family knows I like to document significant events like this, and always keep on the look out to get photos of family and friends.

Just before leaving the cemetery I spotted my niece tracing the inscription of a nearby headstone with a feather she had found. I quickly snapped this shot of her. I thought she portrayed a little angle inscribing into the headstone. I am sure someone more creative (and with the time) could turn this into a more angelic scene, but I thought the foundation for it were well portrayed.

My sympathy for your loss...

This photo is beautiful and I like it just the way it is -- no need for someone "more creative" to art it up. It's simple and sweet and authentic.
Beautiful moment!

sometimes I find it hard to say the right thing in English as I don't want to produce a misunderstanding...

the shot feels so "respecting", non-intrusive, ... a good shot for this difficult subject
