Breakfast - Pingtung

I've been doing a series of pictures about the workers at the chaplains office at our hospital. Most of them aren't relevant unless you know the people, but these are a few that are more universally interesting.

The responsibility to care for an elderly woman usually falls to the daughter-in-law, rather than directly to a son or daughter (although they will provide financial support). A bit of variance from the stereotypical mother-in-law, daughter-in-law relationship in the states.


Waiting - Pingtung

This woman's surroundings and posture capture what I feel like when I'm ill. Blah, usless, tied down, but rarely willing to actually give in and rest.

Also, please stop in and see the latest photoblogs magazine spotlight with Wanda Scott - one of my favorite photographers, interviewed by another favorite - Massimo!

**per Wayne's comment, I played around with different light and opacity in layers - it gave both Breakfast and Waiting a different and more realistic feel (better or worse?). At any rate, it's a great tip, and it definitely improved the photo I'm going to post tomorrow. Thanks Wayne!
