Derrick, this is a beautiful piece. Your writing style and the content make this memory wonderful. Thank you so much. It takes me back to an image I took of my great grandmother just before she passed. I was about 12. I have always cherished that image which I developed and printed myself. I love your lesson that what really matters though is not that I took the image, but rather that the image exists and is preserved to help our family remember my grandmother Chrissie Dotson. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks Derrick, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your whole family. A touching story and you are right -- it doesn't matter who takes the picture. Those old shots take you back so clearly.
Great story, Derrick. Well, you did become a famous photographer. Your storytelling makes your photos, and those taken by the anonymous photographers, more impactful than those in the famous magazines. Happy Thanksgiving.
Wonderful Derrick. Wonderful.
