My grandpa returned from St. Croix in April and passed away this August. I spent the summer in a car, driving home to Adrian from Detroit, MI, whenever I had the chance. Here are a few photos I was able to make of my family in my grandpas house. Still developing film... 35mm film & iPhone
family remembering my grandpa
family reunion
7/15
I felt it coming
the air got warm and sticky. you came home
and for a minute it was quiet
now a strong wind and a
punch
to the gut
bring me to my knees.
and the floodgates are open
tears run like rivers as we
link hands.
yours feel different than yesterday.
your footing more fragile.
the storm builds and moves
and spreads
bodies gather
to build
a home around you.
suddenly the clouds open
heaven calls you.
are you ready to respond?
I’ve never met someone so filled with joy
and yet so very sad.
