January 31, 2017: ten years since my husband Craig’s death. In a whirlwind of last minute planning, my daughter Kyra and I found ourselves observing the date in Bangkok, Thailand. I had packed one of Craig’s colourful shirts, hoping that my vague concept of marking the anniversary in some profound manner would somehow coalesce. We brainstormed, disputed, tried a plan that didn’t work…yet a solution emerged.
An unexpected brightness, a wry humour, a gentle invitation to look more closely: in his person and in his art, in our lives and memories, Craig was and continues…to be.

It was very special! Although my editing doesn’t do her images justice, Kyra unquestionably has her father’s eye behind a lens!
