This assignment was hard. The lady in the photo lost her father who was a pastor in a plane crash earlier that morning. She was surprisingly strong. Photographing someone so closely in their home after sitting with them is for only ten minutes was hard. It's hard to be invisible when you have not had a chance to really sympathize with them and just sit and be normal. These photos aren't amazing but that's sometimes situations you will find yourself thrown into. This not a human interest / war zone / third world type of situation where good photos lend themselves. It is not even like a portrait where you keep shooting until you get what you like. This is why working for a newspaper is so interesting, i could never do the office thing. NEVER SAY NEVER RIGHT!
