My new and special friend Barbara Andolsek is a painter and she's paid me, yet again, a wonderful compliment, she's painted one of my photographs. I never know which, if any, photo she might decide to paint - which is wonderful. When I opened her blog this morning I saw "Sisters" which just happens to be one of my favorite photographs from 2008, and Barbara was able to express even more of what I saw in their movement and their relationship. The photograph was taken on a magical day in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris in early October - a day I will remember forever for it's incredible blue sky and fall colors, and the bustling of every corner of the parks and gardens in Paris. Everyone seemed so happy to be where they were, including these young sisters.

Please visit Barbara's website as well as her blog, I think you'll enjoy the experience as much as I have.
The painting is as beautiful as the picture. Simply amazing.
Was in SH this past weekend and they had photographers showing their work - was hoping to see you there. Maybe next time?
