Love and Loss

1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these photos?

A: First I felt happiness, as the first couple of photos were rather joyful. Then I felt sadness as the story the photos told went on.

2. The photographer said this: "These photographs do not define us, but they are us." What do you think about this comment now that you have looked at the photos?

A: The photographer probably meant that, in spite of his wife's condition, it did not define who she really was.

3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation?

A: Probably not, I would find it hard to keep taking photos because each one gets sadder and sadder.

4. If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say to him?

A: I would tell him that he beautifully captured the story of his wife's battle with breast cancer. He perfectly applied the rules of photography and took stunning images. I would also tell him I loved his quote "These photographs do not define us but they are us."
