My hardest photographic subject in over twenty years.

As per my title.

This was a tough one!

Understandably a tough one. Looks like you managed the situation well.

 

[The Boosh!]

Wow. Brought a tear to my eye that mate, thank you for sharing. RIP Pen.

 

[Cub.]

Thoughts are with you and Pen's family. You did him proud with the photos chap.

 

[Habitual]

Wow, that's quite moving. You've done a really good job with that set.

RIP Pen.

Also, I've not seen funeral photography before. Is this common?

 

[planetx]

I've done quite a few, both military & civilian - producing a remembrance book at the end, with words and hymns.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

As above, very moving. Proper lump in the throat.

Most stuff goes over my head if I don't know people however military things always seem to move me...

10/10 Steve. Brilliant job done there.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Wow. That must have been really hard for you to do but you managed to do it brilliantly.
Brilliant pictures which look like they capture the day very well. The write up accompanied it very good too.

Should be very proud of yourself for what you achieved on what I can only imagine was a bloody difficult day.

 

[Tim.]

A very touching account, thank you for sharing and congratulations on doing such a good job under the circumstances.

 

[planetx]

Shame I'm relying on crappy old Blogger to show it off - but I'm old and a complete techy mong!

 

[SharkyUK]

Very moving and carried out respectfully and with dignity. My hat goes off to you and my condolences to yourself, Pen's family and his friends. Thank you for sharing.

Beautifully captured images given the circumstances. Were they taken with an X100?

 

[Chapster5]

Those pictures are stunning mate. Definitely captures the atmosphere of the day.

 

[Pep]

Sorry for your loss mate. I lost one of my best friends a few years ago when I was 21, properly hard to come to terms with. But you'll get there, remember the good times and why you were so close as mates.
It's nice you've been able to do something special for your all your memories, I know everyone will be proud of you.

No mate, I borrowed a D4 and a 1 Ds for the day.
Got rid of the x100 ready for a x100s when I can bother my ass to get one.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, just doing my job.

 

[Hixle]

Lump in the throat moment reading that. Sorry for your loss Steve.

 

[Niall]

That must have been so hard to deal with At least you can hold your head high that you had the honour of capturing his memory, I’m sure he would have appreciated it.

Lost for words x

Wow, a fantastic way to use your skills to honour Pen's memory.
Must have been incredibly tough to do.
