Remembering 3 Years

I made this video as a way of reflecting on the season of life that surrounded us as I experienced my mother’s passing and the years that followed. I started making my video in the spring of 2008 and finished it in 2009. I forgot to mention in my credits that the funeral photos were taken by Richard Lem on behalf of our family.
