Neither of these images were meant to turn out the way they did – the first has the feel of a memento mori which was the further from the intention when I started.  I say intention of course when the only discernible intention I ever have is to make the image, nothing more.

The second image also just seemed to get a life of its own as I worked on it although both taken together they do represent something – that no matter how vibrant and alive we might be during our life we are all heading in the same direction.
