Reflection Task 3

The Person of the Year

A Man Re-Created His Wedding Photos with Their Young Daughter

If I were a jury member of the committee choosing the person of the year, my candidate would be Ben Nunery. He and his daughter created an intimate portrait of life after loss.Ben Nunery’s wife Ali died in 2011 after a battle with a rare form of lung cancer. Two years later, Ben and their daughter Olivia decided to move out of the house that he and Ali moved into the day before their wedding. With everything packed up, the house was empty, just like it was on the day their wedding photos were taken. So Ben enlisted Ali’s photographer sister Melanie Pace, who shot their original set of wedding photos, to shoot a set of new ones.

Because of his loyalty, fondness and devotion to his wife, he is my candidate. I think he is the best person to be the person of the year. Nowadays, it is hard to love somebody. This man both standed by his wife even when she was a rare form of cancer and loved her. He still loves her and tries to preserve their priceless memories.Here heart-wrenching photos of them are;
