I don’t think $1.99 is too much to ask because of the subjects…these are stories, and we should not think of them only as photography.

If you do, you are mistaken and shortsighted.

These are universal stories about life and the end of life and about how we as loved ones can be braver and more involved with those aspects of life.

If those stories and what you can learn from them isn’t worth $1.99 than we are doomed as story tellers.

We have to quit thinking that it’s only about photography.

It’s far beyond that.
