A dear friend whom I met here on PBase is in the last days of his life. Ted Chappell is a gentle spirited fellow who sees beauty wherever he looks, especially in the eyes of his beloved wife Lyn, daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and many friends. His photos often celebrate the land, water, sky and creatures of his native New Zealand. CLICK HERE to visit Ted's photo galleries.
This self portrait incorporating light and shadow reminds me that life and death are one. It is we who imagine light is better than shadow, life is better than death. Soon Ted will know the truth. May he travel in trust surrounded by love.
Aroha, dear Ted...
