Day 104- Love and Silence

The house is silent today- an empty nest. I thought of photographing the emptiness, but that made me too sad.

When I started this project, I considered that it would be a good way to document some of the family heirlooms, so that my children would remember what they were and which family member had owned them. So here is a photo of my mother’s mother’s Wedgewood.  It may even have been my great-grandmother’s- I am not sure.  Anyway, it belonged to my grandmother and my mother- and now it is ours. I’ve always thought it was beautiful, even though one piece is cracked.

I used two of Kim Klassen’s textures in post-processing:  love and silence.
