What I do for a living didn’t really exist 65 years ago. So I’m sure my request felt strange.
Can I come photograph you in the house you’ve lived in for the last 40 years to document your 65 year old love?
They graciously said yes to my idea, even if it felt odd and maybe even awkward.
A tour of their house was given…
With memories and legends and legacies in every corner.
Even their bodies told me stories - the knotted hands, the laughing wrinkles, and the way they stood close to each other.
A life well lived.
A life lived with each other.
Bill & Veta don’t use the internet much… so I can’t thank them personally here. But I will say this much: photograph the ones you love. Document that love - whether it’s a month, a year, a decade, or a generation old. You’ll never regret it.
