It was amazing how accepting of me these people were in their time of grief. I had to hand-hold the camera o a dreary, foggy day. Tri-X film

Thanks, Heather and Judy. I am greatly honored by this praise from two such distinuished photographers. Maybe you'd like to see one more from that funeral, another shot that amazes me because the people let me be the "fly on the wall," #1031027Heather L. Jacks January 13, 2005
