Then I went here and watched this:

David, honored that you posted the doc of me working with my father. He is hanging in there. I photograph him weekly during my visits. On the other side of serious, I have been making video shorts of my crazy JRT. Trust me, he is totally goofy and these videos are a way of having a good laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Ir3y_jUP4

Stephen, it was my pleasure. Thanks for sharing it with the world. I regularly photograph my family and some of them can be seen on my website. It’s an interesting process- sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, sometimes we say nothing at all.
The video of your Jack Russell is hilarious! I’m now going to send it to 10 of my closest friends and family. This video’s going viral!

David, my father passed away gently last Friday. He was surrounded by his family. I made documents right up to and just after his death, including the wake and funeral as short films. I know have 20 years of my father’s life. It will take me some time to digest this experience. And now I will be working on a book all about it. I posted on Facebook a short film made at the wake. It starts from the open casket, and pulls back through a crowded room of people chatting away, pulling back further leaving the room into a very quiet hall. It kind of says it all.
