Faces from the Past

If you take the long view, we were all immigrants at one time. It does not matter if you were born in your country that you now live there.. at some time your ancestors migrated to where you are. It could have been just a few years .. or thousand of years ago.. but we are all immigrants. With this image, I took an old family photo in black & white, scanned it and filtered it to give it a slightly distorted look, adjusted the color and added borders and an air of mystery has been added.

Not only are we all immigrants, but we are also just passing by.
