The lives of strangers, and tragedy

[hellziggy]

One of the things I love about working at a photo-lab is the glimpses into other people's lives that I get from their photos. People are usually photographing the happy things in their lives. Sometimes, though, it's not so happy.

Today I got to see the life of this talented young man, Joe Sodd IIIA customer called at about 2:30 wondering how fast

I hate tragic stories like that. They remind me that life is sometimes so bitterly unfair.

[hellziggy]

Yes, usually a set of photos like that is for a wedding, and you've got both the bride and groom. It was so damn sad.

How very sad. And how wonderful of you to make the photos happen.

[hellziggy]

Yes, very sad. I was really just doing my job, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't put extra effort into making them look as good as possible.

Thanks

I'll remember your kind words to Joe's family, he was a neighbor of ours.

Re: Thanks

[hellziggy]

Thanks. He looked like a wonderful guy.

You're the second person on my f'list to mention him. incognitoxx (friend of former roommate) went to Perpich with him.

[hellziggy]

Yeah, it was truly a senseless crime. :(

You're a good person.
