Dear Shane

I found this poignant short film some time ago. A bittersweet tribute to longing and loss, of loved ones now gone. It is a reminder of how photography can be a powerful tool of remembrance, a time machine. It also asks us to remember the truly important things in life...

    "Its not the houses you've lived in, the buildings you've

worked at, or the things you own. Heirlooms wind 

up in yard sales. In the end it's the people you love,

your friends, your family. Those matter, you matter."

To often we get caught up in the day to day minutia. Our work, our hobbies, our troubles. It is the eternal curse (and gift) of man that we forget our mortality. We forget the temporary nature of our existence and that all too soon the veil will part for us as well.
