The Last Breath

I got a call late at night. "Hi, it's Jim. I heard from one of the parents at my kids school you're a photographer. I have seen your work.

I know it's late notice but my wife has just caught up with her two sisters, who arrived from the US last night. I was wondering if you could bring your camera and take some photos tomorrow. My wife has terminal cancer". I arrived the next day not long after lunch. I knocked on the front door, entered the lounge room and began my work. 4 days later she died peacefully at their home.

"'The Last Breath'. I did not read the story only after I looked at the pictures number of times, very powerful, humanity-eyes-touches-connections- hard to put in the words but very strong. No poem,book,movie can beat it. Continuity…flowers and veils….feet and touch ......sensitivity"
