Funeral

I took some portraits at Christmas for a family who I had worked with before. This time the Mother was dying of cancer, so the portrait was to be of all the family. When you are taking a photo you always form a relationship with the subject; this was a poignant session, commissioned by the Father. He cycled round last week to tell me that his wife had died, and asking if he could use the photo on the order of service for the funeral. I went to the packed church for the funeral today and found it very moving - more than I can say.
