Timber’s Tribute
The TRUE story🌈
My photo has been spread without credit and proper story. It’s heartbreaking for the owners that their Tribute to their beloved Timber has been altered and spread without the real story. So I want to honor them with giving you the real story behind this photo.
I had no idea it would go so viral being spread all over the world. I did this 2 years ago with hardly knowing Photoshop and it was one of my first composites.
🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
In tribute to Timber.
I was contacted by Lisa Sentigar Konopka
She had this photo of her and her husband spreading their beloved Timber’s ashes. She wanted me to put his reflection in the water.
The original was a phone photo so the quality was not the best, but I think it turned out pretty good🌈

Timber’s Tribute
Thank-you for the backstory and congratulations on creating the best and most touching image of my lifetime. I hope Timber's people can find peace knowing that millions of animal lovers all around the world were moved by this wonderful image, even without context. I think it became so popular because most of us have suffered the heartbreak of losing our best friend at some point and it's all there in the picture; the terrible sense of grief, the last goodbye, the beloved hound crossing the rainbow bridge, his earthly remains returned to nature. There is little that you could add to that to make it more poignant and the international phenomenon which it became is testament to that. Cecilie, congratulations on (making me cry!) what is probably the best ever animal image. Lisa and Timber's people; you might not be able to hug him anymore, he might not come when you call him, but wherever you are and whatever you do, Timber will be in your heart. Until you are reunited.
