Give to children

This capture was taken in 2006 when I was asked to photograph "The Lady of our Guadalupe" churches 100th anniversary in Del Rio, Texas. I tried to compose it such that it represented a stairway to heaven if you give unselfishly to children. Just a little seasonal message from one generation to another. Thank you all you precious souls. MT

A favorite for me Emile. You accomplished what you set out to do. Love the composing and the stairway. What is amazing is the control you had over the lighting, no glare or distortion. The details are so sharp and the colors so beautiful , and the message, well, that speaks for itself. A work of art my friend. #11414567Nancy L. Green December 22, 2015
