The photo was taken at my niece's house, in the front yard. The two subjects in the picture are my mother her other son's daughter.
Time is always a very modern theme. It offers countless interpretations and ideas. I decided to look at time as for what I've seen around me, the way it changed people and things in my life. My mother and her son's daughter are maybe the most meaningful representation of the way time passes by and changes everything forever. Since I got the idea, I saw the whole picture in my mind, and I immediately knew it would be a BW one. So I turned it BW in Photoshop and worked on the contrast (using the curves), adding a little haze and vintage cast. Of course before doing that I had to load the two pictures (one taken with the girl sitting on the chair, with her image in the mirror, and the other with the old lady sitting on the chair and her image in the mirror). What I did in PS is very simple then. I created a mask for one picture and painted the girl inside the mirror so as to obtain what you can see in the final photo.

this makes me sad... truefully an excellent photo.. but the truth that you can see in this photo makes me to live even more.. cuz one day hopefully i will be old, and surely i will look myself in mirror and think of myself at young age.

What an emotion- filled photo. As we age, we still think of ourselves in terms of our glory days. Thought-provoking and a little sad, as well.

Insightful into the real truth of aging. Something maybe nobody has told you is that your body ages but your mind stays young and this is what makes aging hard. Excellent image!!
