Artist's Comments

I did a photo shoot at the cemetery with my youngest today. I had many shots in mind to do, but, at her age, it is impossible to get a child to pose, let alone stand still for a moment! :laughing: So, I dressed her up as my little angel, gave her Teddy, her raggedy old teddy bear, and followed her around taking photos. This is one of several I will be posting. I wanted this one to be black and white because it gave the photo the right atmosphere.

I called this one "Angel of Forgotten Souls," because she is holding her raggedy teddy bear and standing at a headstone that has been worn away and is starting to lean.

Let me know what you think.

Wow! It's adorable. And i agree; the black and white does give it just the right touch.

The lighting around her head makes it look as if she has a halo. Touching.

that's a terrific idea
'and a little child shall lead them' . . . back into the flock

Thank you! :D

At first, I wasn't sure that the wings would fit her; I thought they might be too big. Fortunately, as long as she remained standing, they fit. :)

:D Thank you very much! :hug:

I've had the idea for a long time; I've just been to lazy to get all the equipment together and walk the distance to the cemetary. Robert told me of a better cemetary, so I might take some more someday at that one, just to see the difference.

even though your daughter is a small bundle of energy, with a teddy bear, she is a good model lol
it really looks good 'n' serious. you're lucky that she stood still for just a milla-second for you to catch this
