Description
His friends span the ages.
He possesses a glow of joy that he gives freely.
It does not matter that you cannot give it in return.
Each passing is a dear one to be celebrated.
Each crisis is a teaching tool and a new path to explore.
He understands more than you realize and carries you without tiring.
Mostly, he loves unconditionally and guides you to do the same.
In dedication to my friend Mark (anahata.c) who possesses such an aura.
I thought it was time he felt carried. I have been taking a bit of a sabbatical for personal reasons. I hope to return soon. My model is one of my senior portrait subjects. The complete blast of back light was intentional and pushed in PS to accent it. Thanks for the view.

WOW! Great shot
Wonderful portrait!
Beautiful work -- captures the look of an old photo from the 1920s or 1930s. Amazing work... Hope your new school year's going well!
Beautiful work, and one of the reasons I missed renderosity during my short, unexpected absence. It's great to come back to work like this. I love the classic photography feel of this, and the backlighting works wonderfully.
Excellent portrait... Love the pose... Hope whatever your reason is for absence gets better soon Will keep you in my prayers Hugs Susan~
you did a great jon on this one, because it is very difficult, lovely model and pose, hope all is okay with you
fabulous senior black and white portrait Jodie he looks so distinguished and polished!! So wonderful of you to dedicate Mark who i deeply admire for his sensitive and beautiful writing as well as amazing artistry !!! hope to see you back regularly again soon as i love your talented work!!!
Jodie, this is awesome. You planned this out to the last detail and it payed off. I'm happy to see you again and I hope all is well.
Cool work, light and mood!
A wonderful dedi to Mark. Astonishing light
Wonderful!
I just found this and was left without words. I don't know that I live up to your deeply moving words, but they and your love are truly moving and healing to me, and I know you mean every bit of them. You know what your friendship means to me, and you'll know many more times too, that you're a rare sister of the soul...And the photograph you chose is truly touching as well, it has an amazing mix of softness and gentle focus, dark and true light, those combinations you seek and manage as few do, and which you make look so natural. The mystics said that darkness (black light) is only light that we haven't fully penetrated; and your shadows are tinged in the subtlest red-grays. (They're beautiful.) You did me a service tonight that I needed greatly and didn't even know it, your 'carrying' me means the world. But then, that's what you do, so there shouldn't be any surprise. I woke up, moseyed on over to my computer, saw the ebot and thought, "hmm, now that's a great title!" but had no idea what it was for...thank you so much, it means the world to me. Much love from my heart (anahata) to yours as always, Mark
Great dreamy black & white with that classic feel. A great dedication for an equally great friend.
I can go for the old school b/w of ur friend. Classis, yes and friends are forever. ;-)
