memories

            there's a bit of a story behind this one, so bear with me ... recently on a fun-filled flickrwalk to yosemite, we were all lined up on a bridge waiting for the clouds to clear so we could get some images of the evening sun on the face of half dome ... the clouds never cleared but i kept looking over to yosemite falls and kept thinking something was so familiar about it ... i finally walked over to the parking lot and started looking thru the viewfinder and took a couple of shots of the upper falls just for the heck of it ... all the way home i was still trying to figure out just why i bothered with this shot ... the composition isn't the greatest, and in some ways it's kinda blah, and it's been bugging me ...

the other day a cousin called me and we talked for awhile and got talking about an aunt and uncle we used to visit, and it hit me!! ... the room i stayed in when i visited them had a picture almost just like this on the wall next to the bed i used to sleep in when visiting them ... i would fall asleep staring at in, almost hearing the roar of the falls ... so, here is the image with a bit of textures and some orton tossed about here and there to represent that picture my uncle took with his old folding camera ... thanks for the memories unc!
