You copied whister's mother. I think this counts as plagiarism. I don't understand why photographers get praise when they just copy someone else's composition.

the picture on the wall is haunting. Daughter I assume... or the wife when younger. I am going to use this in a painting.

i can't tell you how profoundly this image moves me... like a shot in my heart. The image on the wall is obviously torn from a magazine. Decoration for those without much. My grandmother did the same thing. I have enjoyed your site more than anything I have seen on the net in months. many thanks.
I found a lot of symbolism in this shot to suggest absence. The photo on the wall; the look of concern from a mother; an empty chair and celestial light cast on the wall. Wonderful shot.
I had to see this one more time -- and realize that I hadn't finished my thought above (grrr) -- what I meant to write was, the image itself looks like it was taken in another era. It's as if you brought it with you -- as you time traveled back in time. I wonder too about the image on the wall, there must be a story there.. Truly magnificent work.

I actually think the red chair is what makes this picture so interesting. Here you have a scene out the the 19th century-literally it could be a photograph of a Native American-and her pot belly stove, but then you have 2 pieces of modernity, the chair such a dramatic reminder of the mass produced outside world, and the magazine picture. I also find the key on the ribbon on the wall very suggestive. I would like to ask, how you found yourself sitting in this room? There must be a story. Obviously there is some familiarity between you.... Also this is called the headmaster's wife. You also have a picture labeled "headmaster". http://www.mexicanpictures.com/archives/2005/05/headmaster.html Is this her husband? What a pair of portraits and faces.
I'm another for realising I hadn't finished everything in my last comment (sorry) - just to point out the most obvious symbol - that of the flue seperating the old woman and the picture. I wonder if I can find any more? ;o)

Raul this is stunning. The red chair though -- it seems so out of place somehow.

Beautiful picture. Can you tell us more about this woman? I feel like I want to know her more when I see the picture.
