yippee
First of all to avoid copyright problems, the logo in the corner is not mine. I do not take credit for it. O.K.
Jess, my eldest daughter had a birthday on the 3rd of July. This is the birthday card for her. Black and white photography has always been about drama/contrast. In Jess's life she has had much drama and struggle. But what I find impressive about her, is her ability to see the irony of her situation and laugh at it from th bottom of her soul. A quality that my sister also shares. So in keeping with the theme I took the color photo of her changed it into a black and white one to match the struggling figures in the background from the Ufizzi in Florence. Then I thought of the black and white T.V. shows of the 50's. It seemed natural then to think of dramatic shows. The first one that came to mind was a black and white horror show called 'The Twilight Zone". 'The Twilight Zone' signed off the air by returning control of your television set to you. In my opinion Jess could look at the Twilight Zone as a comedy.
