The author shares an emotional experience reminiscing about their late father, Morton Witz, a photographer, while dealing with wildfires in Los Angeles. While visiting their mother's home, they begin the painstaking task of organizing their father's life's work, which includes an eclectic collection of photographs and slides. This creative legacy encompasses various moments—from personal family memories to professional commissions, including a striking NFL image. As the wildfires rage, the author finds solace in the memories and artistry captured in these photographs, blending personal loss with natural disaster.
