Mary Ann, I love the bright lighting of this. The colors are so warm and wonderful. What cool reflections in the windows. It really adds a lot. I also love the people. They look like they are ghosts almost from the past. REALLY WONDERFUL WORK!!

Maria Mann
This is almost too much to take in, Mary Ann. The nostalgia is overwhelming, and every element a small story in itself. The treatment is beautiful and tender; your dedication and conviction admirable.
Mary Ann Reilly replied
Thanks maria so much. I feel that there are things and situations we need to stop and examine as we move forward with Barack Obama’s leadership. The previous 8 years were ones were blind greed romped and people, such as the elderly woman above and her caregiver, were largely forgotten. We have much to build/rebuild here.
