What a beautiful picture of old junk! My old junk ends up looking like old junk! Love the treatment and the textures are beautiful! Congrats to Josh - maybe he'll be taking you out on a 'dig' in the future - and you will then have some more rare finds for us ;-)

Congrats to your son. It's and exciting time.
I remember going through it with our oldest and we are going through the process right now with our 17 year old. So far one acceptance and scholarship offer and we are still waiting on several others. He had an audition this weekend and it went pretty well, except he is on the fence about what to study. Between making audition tapes, going to live auditions, and interviews and all the forms it's such a stressful time, exciting but stressful.

Oops I almost forgot...the photo is wonderful too. I love the subject it's really interesting.
