Happiness for me is to see my mom smile. My mom has mentored me to be moral, and stand up for my beliefs. Throughout my life, I have enjoyed the luxury and comfort of her love and support. She has blessed my life. Living in America has come with various challenges. Despite her hardships, she smiles.
This photo encapsulates her, as she is. She is Asian American. She is faithful. She is smart. She is a pioneer. She is my mom.
I've done very little with manipulating the original image. I desaturated the color to create more contrast. I also kept in mind the rule of thirds with this image.
I commented on:
Awesome photo. There is a vibrancy to your mother and a strength in her that you can fell and almost reach out and touch. Very strong photo.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture of your mom! I served my mission in Taiwan and I feel that this picture captures the strength and beauty of Asian mothers!
