Theme: Storytelling
“The gang reunites every seven years.”
– Dominique Daito, LAPD
Noelle’s comment: And so do you, Dominique, in being there to chronicle them. This tells a story that’s universal to all humans: Time is so precious! Thanks for submitting.
“This story needs to be shared: Because even if it’s hard to believe – yes, there is definitely life after retirement. Especially on those lazy spring and summer days in Tuscany, Italy. The End.”
– Det. Yves Didier, Retired, Airport Police
Noelle’s comment: Ahhhhhh, that’s the story of this photo. Congratulations on your retirement, Yves. Looks like it’s starting off well!
“Korean War Memorial in Washington, DC.”
– Dennis Eigel, Retired, LADWP
Noelle’s comment: The art (the statues) were already provided, but the angle and time of day/lighting make all the difference, Dennis, and tell a story of service, dedication and unity. Thank you for submitting this unique perspective.
“Cuba.”
– CT Feng, LAPD
Noelle’s comment: The vivid colors, the swoosh of movement and the blur of the wind combine for a breezy, casual and irresistible image. Thanks, CT!
“Sunset at Dana Point Beach on Dec. 30, 2024. Saying farewell to 2024 and feeling the stillness of the moment.”
– Myrna Tecson, Retired, Airports
Noelle’s comment: The enlarged sun as its colors fade for another year, nonetheless holds a promise as it looks over us: Tomorrow will be here too soon, so enjoy this moment, every moment. Thanks. Myrna!
