Description "O verdadeiro mal da velhice não é o enfraquecimento do corpo, é a indiferença da alma." - Maurois, André

"The true evil of elderliness is not the weakening of the body, but rather the indifference of the soul." - Maurois, André

I believe that old lady signifies it in her expression...

Provectus is the latin word for "advanced in age", "Elderliness".

'assing by', that's what I thought at first when I looked at this photo, great effect of passing time.

you have great talent with choosing good colors to emphasize meanings of your photos.

exactly, that's the idea I wanted to pass, th idea of time is passing by...
I wanted an old vintage look which I think would fit better with this photo, so I tried that color. I'm glad you like it
thank you for your words

I like the eerie colors; that and the vignette make it look like a very old photograph... a lovely touch, considering your subject. These pictures do tell stories - it makes me wonder what she's thinking, what's in the bag... Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

s0n-et-lumiere In reply to RheaLogan [2007-07-11 17:47:15 +0000 UTC]

The old look is on purpose, I edited the photo in order to give it an older and more antique look - it suits better.
I wonder what she was thinking too...
And thank you for your comment

the tones are crushing and so is the perspective.
but the motif is just incredibly amazing. it seems you again have chosen the right moment to actuate the trigger. brilliant.
