At times our own light goes out and
is rekindled by a spark
from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those
who have lighted the flame within us.
Albert Schweitzer

Friends and loved ones do rekindle the light and renew the hope within us ... These precious relationships are one thing among many, we can be grateful for.

I emptied a vase with dried roses ... the texture of the petals and leaves becomes visible in a different way, when they're dry. I took these pictures with the Hipstamatic-App om my iPhone, using Dream Canvas-film together with Watts and Diego-lenses. Dream Canvas is one of my favorite Hipstamatic films, due to the beautiful texture and the leaks of white paint on it.
I have added Kim Klassen's The Wait - texture from her October set (blend mode Multiple 70 %), and Golden Glow-veil from Love That Shot's Illumination Veils (blend mode Lighten 80 %), to soften and to give a warm glow to the images.
And ... I'll leave you this time with some ecxiting news:
I'm happy and honored to share with you that I'm a part of the Creative Team at Love That Shot! Check out the talented ladies in the team, and their beautiful photography, by clicking to Love That Shot- website.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the textures you used - I need to hop over and check out Love that Shot - I am not familiar and it looks like a cool site. congrats! visiting from tt.
ReplyDeleteYour edits are so beautiful and I love Einsteins quote. Years ago I saw this little poem from Faye at "The prophet's candle, I like to share it with you.
ReplyDelete"In my hands I hold a candle
whose flame is small to see
And if I give but one light to you
my life is filled for me.
But...
In your hands you hold a torch
for many eyes to see
So hold it high that they may light
their candlewicks from thee."
Thank you for this beautiful poem, Barbara! Faye's poems are new to me, I'll see if I can find a book with more from the library ... so thoughtfully written, and so touching!
DeleteYour photos are soooo beautiful ! Very special is the second one.
