Relative Reminders

Photo date: May 22, 2021. Photographer: Mark Mahin.   

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  My late mother had an oval-shaped face, and usually hair that was of medium length, often in a kind of cut that was round on the sides.  She, almost never let her hair grow below her neck.  A late sister (the last-born of my siblings) was several inches shorter than my mother, and had a very wide-looking face with long hair flowing thickly down the sides of her head, down to her shoulders.  Both rarely had bangs in their hairstyles. In the orbs below we repeatedly see two outlines that remind me of such relatives. The pattern held throughout almost all of 40 consecutive photos.
