Not so sure about the bokeh...

Good job, Moose. I've been hired to photograph funerals and memorial
services a number of times through the years. It's definitely a different
kind of event photography. Most pros won't touch it. I don't mind and
actually rather enjoy doing them when it's a full-blown honor guard.

I make absolutely no judgements about the purpose, intent or usage of the
photos. I put together an album, give it to the client, take the check and
that's it. One widow didn't touch it for maybe two years. One day I got a
letter from her thanking me for the pictures. It took her that long before
she looked at them.

I think the perfect camera setup for this is a pair of Leica M film cameras
with 35mm and 90mm lenses and rolls of Tri-X.
