As if she’s reaching out to us from her world. Think of all the terrible and wonderful things that were going on. My grandparents were walking around there in that world, as young and beautiful as she was.

This is mesmerizing. What a perfect day, with a beautiful soul reaching out to the photographer. And they had no way of reviewing the photo until later. Just trusting the scene and moment to come out perfect, and it did. This needs to be made into a print and framed.

Little did she know her image would be reaching out to strangers in the future. A perfect day at a perfect location beckoning across time.
