Arago
Most couples whose weddings I photographed also have me as photographer for their firstborns' first birthday parties. What's memorable about this kid's first birthday in '02 was it was on our schedule (my dad and I) several weeks before.
But two days before the event, my father passed away. I used to sing for a living, too, and as a showbusiness saying goes, "the show must go on." This applies to photographers, as well. I just packed my camera bag after the interment and headed straight to a birthday party.
Time flies, it's been six years. Hope I still can cover this kid's wedding!
