Your work always feels like a breath of fresh air and I usually start to smile just before I click the link to your gallery.
This work is just beautiful Rosalie – in both words and imagery.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Sooz you always give me the nudge to keep going! Thanks for the encouraging favouriting. There’s a bit of a ‘photographer’s block’ happening so, very much appreciated!
Philip Golan

Bev Woodman

Rosalie Dale IPA replied

Gilberte
Beautiful treatment Rosalie and such true words.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
It is such an old photo – I do feel sad that people end up selling these family albums and no-one really knows the stories behind the images. At one time this photo meant a lot to someone … thank you for favouriting this, my Duchess!

Beautiful work and words Rosalie.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thanks Sharon.

Beautiful image & sentiment Rosalie .. reading your comment above to Gilberte I agree it is such a sadness that long ago cherished photo’s end up sort of homeless and unconnected to their original families. Your gorgeous artwork here breathes new life to that long forgotten image and makes it real & special for all of us. Tai
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thanks Tai for the thoughtful reply (and the favouriting) ... I feel sort of protective and possessive about these shots – my daughter Sarah actually bought them with very similar thoughts in mind – I’m pleased we can revive them!
Marvin Collins
This is beautiful Rosalie, don’t you wish you could give it to these people or a relative, really great work!!!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I guess I felt this was a bit of a ‘tribute’ – Thanks for the great thoughts Marvin.

I’m sure that this loving couple knew nothing of the internet Rosalie and may have been a little reticent of such exposure …. but I dont think they could argue with your sentiments …... :))
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thanks Richie – well said :)

Glad you like it Deb—hope our shots don’t end up at a flea market!
