This was the first I Love You Because image that was created. I was spending a couple of days with my grandmother Glynne whom I love very much. I explained my idea to her and asked her to think about participating. Once she had her idea we set about figuring out an appropriate way to photograph it.<\/p>\n

She has lived many lives and had many loves but the relationship she wanted to honor in this photo was with a man in France whom she had felt particularly close to. She is a writer and as I read the text in the photo I practically melt. The love they had is palpable.<\/p>\n

As I sat down that evening scrolling through the images on my camera a feeling settled over me. A feeling of rightness, of embarking on a long-awaited journey. It is that feeling which stays with me and propels me forward on this project. Every time I do a new shoot that energy is revived.<\/p>\n
