“Whenever my children miss their mom, they come and look at this picture for a few minutes, then return to work.” -Tan

We met Tan while driving through the countryside in Vietnam and quickly became friends. It wasn’t until a few times after we’d met that he told us about his wife Chi, who was dying of gallbladder cancer. “Can you take pictures of us together?” he asked.
.
.
Chi was frail and he showed us the tube coming out of her stomach, yet she still smiled up at us as she sat in the doorway of their home. We returned sometime later with a printed photo. She sat up in the bed of her small room and touched the picture with her hand. “It’s so sharp” she commented smiling, her eyes tearing up, “Thank you”.
.
.
Three months later, we got the news that she had passed. Tan told us that he missed her and wished to have a bigger picture of them together, even offering to pay for it.
.
.
We returned and gave him this big print as a gift. “The picture is so big. My head in the picture has the same size as my real one” he said, smiling happily. A few weeks later he told us "Whenever my children miss their mom, they come and look at this picture for a few minutes, then return to work.”

FOUR GENERATIONS. All mothers. (Well, three, so far. ) All here to see this new life come in to the world and continue on the family line. I really didn't expect to become emotional over a shoot like this, but here I am, with the sun in my eyes. .
