On May 28th, 2018, I was sitting in my new home (I had just moved from upstate New York to a place on the east coast) and was wondering what to do next. It had been three months since my husband had died and I was still in shock. I went through a years worth of photographs (over 6,000) and chose 260 images that captured some great moments.
I couldn’t caption every photograph on my own because there was just too much to say and I didn’t want everything to be lopsided. I reached out to some friends to ask if they would be willing to contribute some words to accompany my photographs. Everybody said yes. I “assigned” photographs to people. I didn’t set any rules. The captions could be as short or as long as the individual wanted and nobody knew who else was contributing (no competitions). All I asked for was honesty.purchase the book from Helen Crimmins' site
