Honorable Mention: Mother & Child

When we are born, we have the future ahead of us and it is full of opportunity.  At this starting point, I imagine the photo properly framed and in pristine condition.  But time marches on.  We grow, we age, and eventually the pristine photo becomes tattered as it fades, creases and eventually falls out of the frame.
