Ceremonies

This last weekend I took photos for my buddy’s funeral in a small town about 25 miles from here. The weekend before I took photos for a different buddy’s wedding in that same small town.

I liked the wedding better — I didn’t cry as much.

Both ceremonies were about bringing people together. Both celebrated life. Both reflected the natural cycle of things. I haven’t had a whole lot of time yet to reflect, but the two events really seemed to have a lot in common…

    I was very sorry to hear about your friend. I sincerely hope there was no suffering in the end.

    When my father died it allowed me to rebuild relationships with family that I hadn’t seen in about 10 years. It truly was about bringing people together.

    Both events are celebrations of life. Both are new beginnings. I’m sure your friend would want all of you to smile and remember the good times you shared.
