Survivingby $Moonbeam13

Photography / People & Portraits / Spontaneous Portraits

My grandmother is a survivor of many things, the most recent being breast cancer. She was always full of life, beautiful and a woman to be reckoned with but her battle with cancer seemed to snuff some of that joie de vive and part of her was lost. This picture was taken at an event following her last batch of radiation treatments. I had been watching her all day and suddenly she burst into uncontrollable laughter and I had to grab my camera. I showed this to her later to remind her of who she is inside, regardless of what happened on the outside and she was very touched. On an important side note, I really liked this photo because you can see how protective my grandfather is.

Please note that my grandmother passed away on April 13, 2007

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-03-06

Surviving by $Moonbeam13. I've selected this as part of International Women's Week 2007. To me this image captures a beautiful moment filled with pure love and affection, from both sides of the camera. When I first saw the image I felt privilidged to have viewed it through Danie's eyes. If you read the image description the story behind this picture becomes clear and you too should be proud to have shared this moment. ( Featured by $fourteenthstar )
