Zu VincentI think this is why Ellis took so many moving pictures of us. Because he knew that people come in and out of your life, and a picture fixes them in the moment they reach out to you.
About This Quote
The pictures that Ellis took of his family close to the end of his life were not meant to be displayed to the world. Rather, they were intended to be memories for himself. These pictures, taken after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, were meant to help him remember the good times with his wife and children. They were reminders that he didn't have to just accept what was happening around him, but that he could fight back.
