And to call someone to ask about their loss. I cannot even imagine doing that, and it hurts me for our reporters who have to do the same. :/ Major hugs.

I think a lot of people struggle with this, and I wonder about the people/photographers who don't. Thanks, lady.

I cannot imagine writing obits for a living. How does that work out for you?

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:26:37 +0000 http://stylishhandwriting.com/2009/11/the-typical-reaction-and-open-arms/#comment-8616 I completely agree. We cover all ends of the spectrum at the newspaper, and I think a lot of people forget about that when it comes to personal tragedy. You've got a good point, though. Shooting the mourning and loss of some people may help someone else who sees that image. It may help me down the line. <br><br>... I'd never really thought of it that way before. I completely agree.

Luckily, one family was receptive even if the other wasn't. I like the way you put that, and I like to think of it as that whenever I have to shoot a funeral.

It's hard not to, even if I don't know the person, and I don't try to hide it even though I shoot through it. :/ <br><br>Thanks so much! I'm glad you saw the photoblog and liked what you saw!

The personal topics are always the most uncomfortable, challenging ones, but at the same time, those are the most rewarding, if that makes any sense. You learn a lot about yourself through those assignments. You've hit the nail on the head, like always.
