Mother And Me

Black And White Photography, Cheryl, Photography

This was inspired by covid confinement. I am often told I look like my mother so I decided to do a double exposure to see if that is true. We were both in our mid-thirties in the images of us. The one of my mother is a photo I took of a portrait of her painted by her brother. I converted it to black and white. The one of me is a photo taken of me for the Baltimore Sun. I took a photo of it. I merged them.

This is from my North Carolina mountains visit last October, the composition was processed shortly after and ready to publish, but was forgotten.  Fortunately, I found it while planning my 2021 trip – coming up next week.  It was captured from the Fryingpan Mountain Lookout Tower near Pisgah Mountain on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  The tower’s stairwell was blocked at the base, but I was able to squeeze through and overcome my fear of heights to climb to just under the top platform.   I was rewarded with an amazing South Fork Mills River Valley landscape and dramatic light!

Cheers,
