Photo One

When a loved one passes away, we often use photographs as a way of keeping that person's memory alive. One Ohio family took the process a step further, creating a unique set of photos that serves as both a touchstone of the past and a reminder of how life moves forward.
每當我們至愛的人離世后,我們通常會用照片來使記憶得以延續(xù)。美國俄亥俄的一對父女則更進了一步,兩人拍攝了一組獨特的照片,作為對過去的銘記,并用來提醒他們生活該繼續(xù)前行。

This November, after two years on "a rollercoaster of emotions," as Ben described it, he and Olivia were ready to move out of the Cincinnati home they'd shared with Ali. But before they left, Ben wanted a way to remember the happy times they'd shared in the house. So he asked his sister-in-law Melanie Pace, a professional photographer, to take photos of him and his now 3-year-old daughter in their home.

Pace, who shot Ben and Ali's original wedding photos in 2009, was able to recreate the images with Ben and Olivia, including one of the father and daughter in a doorway to mimic the photo Ben had once taken with her mother.
曾在2009年幫這對新人拍攝婚紗照的佩斯再次舉起了照相機,為這對父女拍攝了一組照片。其中一張相片上,父女倆站在門邊,而本恰恰曾經與妻子在同樣的場景拍過婚紗照。

"It immediately brought up memories of being there the first time," he said. "In a lot of ways, it felt like Ali was there, and doing that with Olivia I felt a closeness with both of them."
“它瞬間勾起了我第一次站在那里時的回憶,”本說?!昂芏鄨鼍皶屛腋杏X到阿里還在這里,而這回與奧維利亞一同拍照也讓我與她們母女更加親近。”

Pace and her husband, who is also a photographer and helped out with the shoot, posted the photos to their blog, and the beautiful and poignant images soon attracted attention, as even those unfamiliar with the Nunerys and their story were moved by the photos and story.
作為攝影師的佩斯夫婦將這組照片傳到了他們的博客上,這組唯美傷感的照片很快引起了大家的關注,甚至不認識努納利夫婦的網(wǎng)友也因他們的照片和故事而感動。

"I hope that people can see it as evidence of a love that Ali and I shared that is still very deep, [and] that love carries on, and it doesn't die," he said. "People who don't know us personally but may have experience with losing a loved one can see that as an example of healing and life moving on."
“我希望大家可以把這組照片當作我與阿里愛的見證。我們深愛著對方,而且會一直延續(xù)下去,從不間斷?!北菊f。“有些人雖然并不認識我們,但他們可能也有痛失所愛的經歷。那么這也是一種療傷,同時也提醒我們,得好好生活下去。”
