when asked what my favorite picture is and digging through piles and piles of pictures i was stumped. i have been so blessed to shoot so many amazing people and i really do love so many of my pictures . . . i cant just say that there is ONE ALL TIME FAVORITE. however . . . after looking through photo shoot after photo shoot i continued to be drawn to this shoot and i didnt understand why . . .
i decided to sleep on it and decide in the morning if this single shot would claim great importance to me over my career of shooting. when i woke up, yet again this picture drew me in. actually so many from this shoot. i was feeling a little embarrassed that i was being drawn to a shot at a funeral and then it dawned on me. . . over the last 6 years of shooting this picture i took carries some of THE MOST POWERFUL FEELINGS/EMOTIONS that i have ever shot in my life, period. when i look at this image i am taken right back to this day when a 4 year little boy and his grandmother cling the casket of their father/son. because i a am a mother this effected me a million times over. i know its not a "happy" picture. but it is one that forever speaks to me.
the reason i am sharing this is because inspiration comes to all of us in different ways and i am a little hopeful lady that hopes i might find some through brookes workshop that she is putting on!
