I'm only half here right now. I was looking through some of my pictures on the computer a few moments ago and I found a few from the winter that I had forgotten about.
The one that you will find pasted below is a photograph of the late Sir Julius Laurence Frederick Fish in his final months, around the end of last November. I remember the night I was taking these pictures, but not this one in particular. I do realize how this sounds, as he was a fish, but it struck me how proudly he faced the camera even though the disease had disfigured him. That is what this picture means to me: pride and dignity, and so much emotion.

As I said, I know how that sounds. I also realize that this photograph is technically a bullseye composition. Everything has its purpose.

"Goodbye" - taken by me on November 14, 2005.

What kind of fish was he and what was wrong with him? I hope he wasn't hurting  |
