Then and Now

Today's assignment involved capturing a loved one contrasting some aspect of them in relation to the past with the present. We were also to focus on "cropping" specifically cropping pretty close up.

When I met Mark, he wore glasses. All of the time. In fact, he was relatively blind without them. Here we are in 2005. Note the glasses (and my BLOND hair! that's what kids has done to me - my hair is now almost black!)


In the fall of 2007, we decided to invest in what he calls, "new eyeballs" aka lasix surgery. Totally worth it for so many reasons. No glare with flash photography for one. ;) Of course, Mark would call it a significant improvement in quality of life.

I simply love these big green eyes and all that is behind them: the sensitivity, devotion, humor, compassion, determination, honesty...the love.
