A Sad Story †

4 years 7 months ago - 4 years 7 months ago #653911 by Nikon Shooter


A good friend of mine called…

"Listen, our family doctor called me to tell me about the con-
dition of my older sister: "She will need lots of support from
the family as there is not much time ahead…" the doctor said.

"I would like you to take a last portrait as she is now, with her
dog, before… and she should believe it is a gift for her birthday
to the rest of the family. My preference would be less a studio
type of shot but more a casual picture… with her dog." 

It's been a year now and she is gone… but something is kept by
all that were family and close friends.
