Artist's Comments

Been a while since I uploaded anything, so, sorry for that.

Anyways, heres one of my more recent photographs (*sadly).

It was taken of an adolescent girl walking a track at a Relay for Life event. This campaign is designed to raise money and awareness of cancer, any and all varieties.

The bags that line the track are, I believe, called Lumenarias (*let me know if thats wrong). Each participant and their families are invited, before the event, to decorate a bag in memorium to lost loved ones. The walk lasts all night, and during the hours of darkness, there are candles lit within each bag that guide the walkers on until the sunrise.

My understanding is that this girl has lost a grandmother to cancer recently. It is truly a harrowing experience and I was grateful for this experience.

Beautiful shot - great lighting/shadows and composition.

(And I think it might be 'luminaria'.)
