And hospital light, crowded rooms, tubes, people in not-the-most-photogenic outfits, who are exhausted, have been crying... it makes for hard work. I do my best and deliver the best that I can.

A family I just delivered photos to is upset that they didn't get all of them.

Why didn't they?

Because some turn out good and some don't. No photographer gives - or even shows - every picture to a client.

I think losing a child is something so horrific and incomprehensible, and at the same time something so personal, that parents want to hang on to anything tangible that exists... even if it happens to be some not-so-good photos. They might also possibly feel that they don't want to "share" those pictures w/strangers - it's hard to explain what grief can do to a person, or how rational thinking can go straight out the window for a long, long time.
My heart goes out to them.
Try not to take their e-mails too personal.
