First off, I have no experience whatsoever with portraits, so I really could not do this woman justice. Also, this was taken in her dark little apartment with no setup at all, so don't expect much...
Anyway, this is Velma. She's my non-related-grammy, my mother's husband's mother, and she's truly a remarkable person. She's been battling cancer on and off for years; she "beat it" for the most part several times, and she still has not given up, although she was put on morphine a few days ago. Any prayers or good wishes you could send her way would be nice. :)
I just thought I would share this photo, though I know it truly cannot convey the beauty of who she is. It's pretty raw... I thought it was better remaining for the most part unedited.
