For me, the image itself has always been both fascinating and exciting. As a child, I could sit for hours and look at old albums, see pictures from the old days with people I barely knew who were. I could sit there and daydream about the people in the pictures and the lives they lived. As I got older, it was my own memories that were presented in the pictures. Pictures that made me recognize the smell of oil in my grandfather's basement or my grandmother's hot cocoa, reminiscent of a wonderful childhood and a fun youth. But also reminding me of important people who are no longer here with us. As a 35-year-old, I lost one of my most important supporters, one of those who had always been there for me and cheered me on. My father died of cancer, and I was left desperately wishing for even more pictures to remember. For me, this was the start of ¨A day in life¨ photography, because I sincerely believe that a picture has a far stronger value than money can ever buy. And my biggest wish is that you and yours loved ones get the pleasure of, and see that value of, beautiful, fun and real pictures together before someone is no longer in the pictures.
