I didn't know what section to place this, so please feel free to move it elsewhere.
I'm troubled right now; a friend of mine had a death in the family. No one I know or ever met. She asked me if I would take some photos during the funeral and thereafter. Let me share something personal with you all; my parents died when I was a child. My dad had cancer then within the same year, my mom was in a car wreck. That said, I find funerals to be for lack of a better word...stupid. My friend knows my feelings plus I'm a novice at this. She asked me as a favor to her because she wishes to capture ppl whom she hasn't seen in years. This is why funerals are stupid to me...so, the vast majority of the ppl attending this thing basically didn't care to spend time with this person when they were living but now that they're dead, they will be there? Right. She said that it would mean a lot to her. She is looking more for an objective person to just capture the day...nothing more or less.
My aversion to funerals aside, has anyone here taken photos of funerals and the after get togethers that follow? Could u share your thoughts and advice. Thank you.
