Thank you again Colleen! This is also a photo very dear to my heart...brings back so many memories that I get teary every time I see it. Several of my images that you commented on (this one included) were shot originally with 35mm film....and are part of my earliest work in photography.

Thank you so much Susan for your truly lovely and loving comment. It makes me very happy that you can see and "feel" the essences of these beloveds of mine for that is our art and our hope is it not?....to translate into the world something that although personal, has a universal aspect to it?

Wow....thank you so much! That just makes my heart sing!! Some small measure of notice for my "Nonnie"...a repayment in a sense for all she did for me!

I looked at your piece "The Great Lie," several days ago, and still haven't decided on it ... but this photograph, with its story combined, stole my heart. The other is still disturbing me! V F R

Rory Siegel replied:

Thank you so much Peri....I am glad you liked this...it makes me cry nearly every time I see it. I miss her very much at times. And really, "disturbing" is quite alright as far as The Great Lie goes. I am content if it merely causes anyone to contemplate at all. Some work is disturbing and shakes us out of our comfort zones. We may not like it at first, but I do think that ultimately it leads to our growth.

This so fine a tribute, so full of love and passion. Your photography and story Rory touch my heart. V/F

Rory Siegel replied:

Thank you for telling me Bob...I was about in tears writing the description and get weepy every time I see this photo. There is so much more I could write, but maybe that will be for a book or another photo. Despite the usual family issues, I feel extraordinarily blessed to have had the family that I did. Not many of them left unfortunately and I try to enjoy whatever time I have left with them. It took many years for me to realize just how special the members of my family were, especially my father and grandfather (Nonnie's husband), who were a dying breed of men...honorable, unselfish, courageous...and infinitely loving. I took it all for granted while growing up, thinking that all men were like that. It was a rude shock when I found out differently. These days, I am very fortunate to have found another man who embodies those same qualities and who I am priveleged to share my life with.
