With my grandfather’s recent passing, I was hit with this moment of sadness, but being able to spend many moments with him hearing his memories and stories, I was hit with happiness. I was able to walk through his old childhood home that is now abandoned, photographing the home, feeling the presence of a family who lived in the moment creating memories together. I was able to celebrate his life through my photography, using his old Kodak brownie box camera as a way to see my life through his eyes.

With these photographs I want to show that grief can be beautiful, there can be light and happiness even in moments of sadness.
