    Please explain to me how this is sepia? I want to see more of her, to see her expression, to see how she was lovingly carved.

  • izzybeth replied

    The day I took the photos was such a rainy day I was afraid I was going to get my friend’s camera all soggy, and so did not take as many images of Lillien as I wanted. There are a couple other photographers on the bubble who have taken gorgeous photos of her. I will try to link them here too. OK?

  • izzybeth

    Hi Bernadette, Here is another image I have of Lillien less faded. I will try to find my link to the tutorial for sepia effects and send it to you.

  • izzybeth

    Michael Byerley has photographed her too.

    Stunning. Exquisite in its restraint. Intensely moving.

  • izzybeth replied

    Thank you, I need to go back to the site to look at the history of the little one… Michael mentioned, there was a period of time when survivors had the stones made literally from casts of the deceased… makes me wonder.
