CELEBRATION OF LIFE PROJECT.

I’ve been inspired by photographer Angela Shea to participate in The Celebration of Life project.

When I read what she was doing I thought ‘what a wonderful idea’ and felt I had to get involved.

So what is the project all about? In Angela’s word:

I have often come across people in my community who are going through something in their lives whether it be sickness, recovery, a birth that has overcome great odds an adoption, and my automatic response to those stories is that I want to reach out to them and offer them a photography session ( free of charge of course). Something that would document this time in their lives, whether it be to leave behind memories for those they love or to commemorate a happy and joyful time.

To me the images that we take mean so much more than just a time and a place- they are a celebration of our lives.

So I challenge you to nominate your friends or those you have heard of who are deserving of such a celebration. Take an active roll in those lives around you- Email applications to: susan@susandarcy.com.au
