Photo of the Day - April 2012

Took this picture of this cool guy yesterday at the zoo. He stood there forever letting me take pictures. They ended up pretty good considering they were taken through glass.

I haven't posted here much lately. It isn't because I haven't taken pictures, but I just haven't felt like sharing the ones I have taken (mostly because they didn't seem to be pictures that should be shared widely). Today I'm sharing one I took almost a year ago. This is the only picture I have of this man where he is the subject. It was taken the last time he was able to attend church, which was for his granddaughter's confirmation last May.

I attended his funeral on Saturday. The family asked me for this photo to use for his obituary, and they also used it on keepsake cards that they handed out. I was very glad I had a picture they liked and wanted to use for this time in their lives.

Obituary: http://www.ajc.com/news/alfred-schoelles-82-filled-1415189.html (The family didn't know this article was going to be written, and they didn't attribute the photo to any name when they submitted their paid for obituary entry.)

This is one reason why we take photos.
