Thanks, Haden. I really appreciate the family allowing me to photograph the funeral--I owe them a debt of gratitude for their generosity and understanding.
You know, every time I bump into another funeral, I'm glad all over Mom's turned out as it did. There's something so - natural and old-fashioned - about chatting with the fellow digging your loved one's grave while he's digging. ;)
And I really like the way you've expanded the definition of work, too. There are a lot of specialized and/or hidden jobs that just never get much due.
