A Beautiful Life – A Tribute to Papatua Eddy

This album was made a while ago, actually, in memory of my uncle, Papatua Eddy, who passed away a few months ago. He was the “official” photographer of our family history. He captured the beautiful, funny, happy, crazy, sad and ugly moments of our big extended family.

Now, whenever I reach for my camera, I always think of him. We miss you, Papatua. But I’m sure you’re in a happier place. And I’ll bet when we finally meet you there, you’ll have albums of our pictures… taken without us even realizing it. Just like you always did.

PS: Forgive the pictures’ quality. They were taken with my old camera, just before it was broken. After I took these pictures, poof, it went to camera’s heaven.
