Same feelings here as expressed by Chris Jim.
The second plate reminds me of my grandfather, who had carved his name and year
of birth in stone - He had also carved the year of his death, which he changed
every year, except on the fatal year…
Back to the photo, it is a very powerful one Jim. Perfect processing to
highlight what matters i.e. the fond memory of the loved one.
