By My Side

This is another photograph I made on the WorldwidePhotoWalk.  The dog was so amazing with so much hair and looked just like his master.

A photograph of my nephew, Robby, having fun in the surf.

A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.

I used Photoshop on this photograph to turn it into a painting.  I liked it better because I thought the original photograph was too harsh.  This man's face was so compelling in the way it was painted with a mask instead of wearing one.  I've included the original photograph so you could see both.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
