Now that I am trying to create composite images myself, I appreciate your work even more! Like this one where you bring the penny, fabric & hourglass in with such finesse. I am in awe.

It opens one's eyes to the fact that there was a high standard of portraiture at the time, with good reproduction of 3-d images in differing light. Not what is commonly felt of the 'ancient' world.

Do not ask
If there is a measure
To those things we may touch
But can hold for long.
Do not ask
If there is a dimension
Where our senses may risk
Knowing more than we can cope.

Memories of ancient times
Of that holy night in which we met
We were there
We heard the echoes
We foresaw with inner eyes
True life concealed within
Veiled by the plight of our countless sins
Under the radiance of the full moon
Time was not our concern
With saddened hearts
We knew it would pass
Like the sands of the hourglass
Then in our minds, would turn back again

I like the eye contact which because of the tilt is far more questioning in it's gaze. The rest a flight of fancy, pieces of memories, long forgotten as one whole story. I am not as optiminstic as Christine about 1000 years from now, but if this image survives, it will be a testament to your talent. K

Faces of spirits from other times. Human beings just like us. They cried, laughed, ate, slept, loved, just like us. As will our descendants in thousand years from now.
