Please hold a moment.
I haven’t lost a lot of very close people in my life.
While we're here, we really should take the chance to photograph those we love. I mean it. Really sit them down, and focus a moment on their being.
I write this because I've just returned from visiting my Grandparents in Stratford, Ontario.
<abridged> We never saw each other much growing up on opposite ends of the country, and thus were never really "close" per se. They don't fly. Talk on the phone maybe twice a year. Haven't seen them in 10 years. Grandpa is not well.
Now, had I not known of my Grandpa's rapidly failing health, I may not have thought to make a meaningful portrait. Sad, isn't it? Yeah, hard to admit, too.
Such a simple way to hold a moment - while it is within your grasp.
So, please hold a moment however you can, while you can. Let me tell you - It feels great.
Shout out to my friends & family - you're the best!
