Forever young..

Basia McAuley

Forever young..

Here is another image taken today. To me, converse sneakers are the epitome of youth and they never seem to go out of fashion.. My parents wore them, I wore them and now my sons and daughter are already wearing them (by the way.. these were my pair of ‘connies’ which now my son is wearing). I just liked the way they portray youth and although each generation think they are better than the last; I think fundamentally they always stay the same.

    I love the treatment you’ve given this shot. Really reinforces your sentiments by tieing the generations together through an aged look.
