Baba at 90

This is a shot I made of my grandmother the year she turned 90 years old. I didn't really love how it came out, so I've never printed it (apologies for the neg scan now). She passed away last week at 97 and I just wanted to honor her memory by posting this.

Thank you everyone! I think I see this photo differently now than I did when I first saw it. I still don't like her hair sticking out and the blown out lamp, but there is something more of her in it than I saw initially.

But that is HER! My Mother is 95, and I'm glad I have recent photos of her. This is the real thing. You can play with the lamp, perhaps even crop some of it out, but she is the important element.
Sorry for your loss.
 
Sorry for your loss. This is a great portrait; there is real spirit in her eyes.
