Some stories are told from a person's photos. This may cause some level of controversy, but a possible stand-alone story of a picture can even be done through a different medium, through someone else's eyes. Do not be mistrusting of its simple and 'everyone-can-do-this-self-shot-nonsense' shot, but rather, read into the picture, it's truth and the story behind it. If this was someone you knew and loved and the camera you left in his hands showed you this, a picture, one picture, that was created as the only last lasting memory of his life, would you not begin to think?

Description

This photo isn't the best of quality - in fact, I took it off my aunt's facebook page (with her permission). Art wise, it's horrible - emotion wise, this photo speaks more than 1000 words. It's my most prized possession and I only uploaded it to dA so I'd never ever lose it.

I didn't take this. We left a camera at his house one night. When we got back, this is what we found. This is just a few days before he died.

The story based off this picture and true events can be found here: [link]

edit:
Wow. I didn't even notice the over 700 comments when I first logged it. I noticed my 2 email messages. I was excited that I finally got something. one of them mentioned a DD - and I looked up and I had over 700 comments. I'm going to try to reply to everyone of them, but I'm not sure I'll be able to.

Thank you for everyone - if you want to share this on non-dA sites, feel free to. You can share the story too. Just link back here. Thank you.
