Original topic post: Images to remember and imagine
posted: 11.11.2009
message: Hi there. My daughter died of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in 2007 just 19 weeks old. I have just started the second year of a Photography A Level at college because photography is my main interest. The whole year is based on a project which has to be something personal so I want to do my piece about my daughter.
I want to celebrate her life and I definitely don't want to be morbid so I am looking for any ideas from people on here about what sort of images come to mind when you think about yourselves, your children or parents.
Any comments will be welcomed and thanks for reading this post.

message: Hi there, we've had this come in to our in box at CLIC Sargent - but I think it was for you. Good luck with your project. Here is the message from Suzanne:
"Sounds like a great project to do. The things that I think of when I think of my kids are giggling, chasing each other, bumping heads far too often and a permanent sense of tiredness as a Mom!!"

message: Hi, I don't know if this will help you but I remember a lady on tv, who after losing her premature born daughter took her interest in photography further to help others to create memories of their premature born children from the point when they were born to being cradled at the point of their death. The programme highlighted how despite the sadness, how these photo memories helped the family to remember the special moments they shared with their children even when it was just a matter of hours and ultimately to be able to enjoy moments of joy in the sadness of grief. Perhaps this is something which may help you and others in the future.

message: Hi, my nephew Liam died of AML just one year ago; he was six. One of the strongest memories I have of him is his eyes. They greeted you, they smiled at you, they loved you they were sad and scared. They just told me what was going on in his little heart. Children's eyes are just so innocent and I think tell a story that we can all cherish.
I wish you well with your work.
