Description
Today I'm uploading my 500th work in my Renderosity gallery and want to make it symbolic. Let it be the portrait of my Mother, whom I love very much.
The symbolism isn't accidental since my Mom is the person who developed all my aesthetic and artistic interests and abilities. Of course I'm very gratefulto her not only for that, she ia brilliant and very attentive person, very kind and tender. But she is frankly speaking also the most severe critic of my graphic and photographic works (even when it is not evident where is my fault with the image my Mother asks "and why did you chose that very flower - it's far from being the best-looking object for your photography"). But that always gives me great incitement to improve, even in chosing what is the best object for my photosession for today. But she is absolutely different with her grandson aka AnthonyJr. She criticises him rarely explaining his faults and analysing the psychological grounds of his skipping school, not doing his hometask etc ;-)
The shot is made with a home made lens (special optical construction provides that blurry effect, lens-glasses taken from old lenses.)
With kindest regards, have a lovely Sunday!
-Anthony.
