same happend with me when my grand father died .... quote again!
The phenomena of the radiance of the soul are apparent to the student of the human body. The body with its perfect mechanism loses power, magnetism, beauty, and brightness, when the soul departs from the body. This shows that the power, magnetism, beauty, and brightness belong to the soul.
As the brain is the instrument of the mind, which is invisible, and the heart of flesh is the vehicle of the heart within, which is above substance, so it is the illumination of the soul, our invisible being, whose light is reflected within this physical body. When active it beams through the eyes, through the radiance of the countenance, charging the whole environment with a magnetic atmosphere.

Dear Marco
Don´t apologize! I´m very thrilled to receive such a comment and also feel that I stirr sth. up in people with my photo.
You´re absolutely right. If there´s no soul, enthusiasm, spirit, passion there is nothing really. Well said.
Best wishes
Annemette

hey annemette! what a very nice photo! So haunting and still. Technical perfect and such a nice composition. I think the colors make it feel cold, and cropping the pupil out of the picture strengthens that. Very good. I think what you say about dying is true. It is the soul that dies, and leaves the body behind. When the soul is gone, it doesn't feel like that person anymore. It is the same with everything. Whenever the soul (or the passion) is gone, it doesn't make sense or doesn't exist anymore. Art or love for instance can't be without soul and passion.
Sorry for me being so philosophical. Very nice picture, with a soul!
All the best, Marco.

one of the most interesting cut's choice ever view here! Love the fact that we can only see the white of the eye! We'd like to see more but it's not possible at all, and so we must work in fantasy and imagination..
good job

Dear Leonie
Thank you very much for your long and very interesting comment, Leonie. It must take lots of strength to live with dementia and alzheimers especially at the point where they are aware of this condition that will only deteriate.
Also for the family that are slowly losing their loved ones because they turn into someone that they hardly know and that can´t recognize the family.
My mother told me that she was working with old people many years ago, and the last thing to vanish was their sense of behaviour. All the manners that were taught from they were little and that had became a natural part of their socail life, they lost very late. It´s fascinating how the brain works.
I also have heard of people that get dementia in a way where they do particularly lose this sense of manners and what to do and say around people turning into very rude persons although they have never been like this.
You must experience much working with people with these conditions. You seem to have personal power and a happy mind to spread around you that ables you to cope with all good and bad in such a job.
Recently I read about people having a condition where they can´t recognize other people´s faces and not even thir own in a mirror. These people can tape a schoolconcert and coming home with the wrong kid in the film. These are normal people otherwise, so just imagine this social handicap always looking at strangers never knowing who´s family and friends.
I could continue for hours as this is such an interesting subject:-)
Take care and thanks again for the great comment
Annemette

Annemette... Indeed an interesting portrait... and your words hold great wisdom...
I have worked with dementia and alzheimers... The wonder of the brain... How it holds the key for our every sense of individual self... When it short circuits or starts to die, the comprehension of *self* starts to dissolve as the cache of learned information sends messages that become progressively more scrambled until we are no more...
Why some who are born, rise to great heights and others never challenge... Why some have humour and others remain dour... The list goes on...
It is indeed an amazing *perishable* that we will never fully understand... but, that is why life is an adventure, a journey full of paths travelled by individual *selfs*... To leave behind memories, love, laughter, tears for those who follow us...
I felt the same about my grandmother... :) That sparkle in her eye came not from the body...
Onie...
