Funeral (08-01-09)

It’s been over a month since I updated my blog. It’s been a busy summer for me. Even though I don’t work and took the summer off for school, I found myself doing projects left and right. My dad and I have been painting the house for the past 3 weeks. It’s taking us so long because my dad only has 2 hours to help me out before he goes to work, and frankly our rooms are too big to do for one person. It takes about 2 days to finish one room. The good thing is that we are almost done; one more room and the kitchen.

Last week my Auntie Rose asked me to do a favor and help her photograph a family friend’s funeral. Without hesitation, I agreed because it’s perfect for the type of photography I like to do; photojournalism (candid shots that capture true emotions). Here are a few pictures I captured. I really wanted to show the people’s faces, but for respect for the family, I chose not to post any/few faces on this blog entry.

(I felt the above picture is the most powerful shot I captured for the day)
