A Buddhist Monk takes time-out in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

This elderly woman sits at the window and contemplates the world outside. She does not see far beyond the window frame because her world has diminished considerably. Two years ago she was officially diagnosed with dementia after a life threatening surgery and long hospital stay. However, her family and friends noticed a difference in her personality over the last several years. Once a proud and hard working single mom, she raised two children during the 60’s and 70’s at a time when single parenthood was not as widely accepted as it is today. At present, she is reduced to little more than the passive demeanor of a quiet child. She is aware of the reduction in both her mental and physical abilities. She also understands that she is helpless to change anything. / It takes great courage to face the inevitable. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia; it accounts for 64 per cent of all dementias. For example right now in the US, Alzeihmer’s has surpassed diabetes and is the sixth leading cause of death. As baby boomers are rapidly approaching the age of retirement it is believed that 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer’s in their lifetime. Currently, there are more than 24 million people in the world with dementia—this is estimated to rise to 81 million by the year 2040.6 / Statistics taken from both the Canadian and American Alzeihmer’s Society. / Published by Redbubble in Compassion, Courage and Friendship book October 2008 / Compassion, Courage & Friendship Featured in the Nirvana group October 2008 / Featured in the ImageWriting group November 2008 / Featured in the RB Buyer’s Booth November 2008 / Featured in the Stillness Speaks group November 2008 / Featured on RB homepage on November 25/08

Fernand is probably wondering where i am ,each time i work I look for fresh fruits everywhere ,his fav.peaches ,pears and plums,sometimes i go downstairs at the cafeteria to beg for some….Everytimes he says «écoute la petite,what would you like me to buy for you ,tell me »and I say «nothing» ,he answers «They don’t have that in the stores»I t’s like a ritual …a few weeks ago ,her greatgrandaugther was hit by a drunk lady ,20 years old,I though we where gonna loose him.Hopefully everybody went to talk to him very often ,he had more fruits…and he told me last week that the girl was out of the coma and started to talk a little.Last month ,I took his picture and told him that everybody said he was a handsome man.I explained to him that his face was all over the world…..«i didn’t even comb my hair » he said,it was funny.Mr Fernand is 95 years old ,he can walk slowly but do everything by himself,never disturbing and always acting like a gentleman .A few women are after him but his wife died 6 months ago and he loved her so much ,I knew her ,a very funny lady.She had alzeimer.I hope he will be ok until I come back…Gigi

My dear Agathe,so precious ,when she wants something nothing can stop her.She’s a libra just like me and her sister’s name is Gisèle just like me…either.Agathe is very proud to remember my name all the time and she always wants a big hug from me but when she’s angry ,watch out..!She has the most gentel smile I’ve ever seen ….and when she has that smile , it means trouble.She’s always looking in her purse,afraid that somebody would steel something from her One day I wanted to take the purse away to change her and she told her family that I beat her up,like I told you ,very clever that lady.I don’t touch the purse anymore.I don’t have any choices that to love her ,she won’t let anyone get on her back and that’s a good thing…..but it’s very hard to please her.I think It’s a great chalenge….Gigi..

An elderly man dozing in the winter sun

I have plenty of photos of this adorable woman. I actually liked this after she put her hands over her face…adds an aura of mystery. And she does use “The Age Card” to her advantage when she chooses to—hence, the caption title. LOL ;) I’m placing this photo in the CURRENT ISSUES Group because there are so many baby boomer people with elderly parents…and as time goes by…it truly is an issue to be dealt with.

This is a photo of my Gram talking with my daughter. / This took place often, and I pray whatever Gram was saying to her, she’ll remember when she’s older. / Rest in Peace Gram….

I got so excited when I saw this dynamic duo seated in the downstairs lobby area of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. They had such character and now I can imagine their stories in my mind. He’s a former professor of philosophy and they had once had an affair when she was a visiting student from Portugal back in the 1950s. Now they’re just friends and they spend every Thursday afternoon at the Museum. OR…maybe you can come up with a more inventive scenario. :)

I was on the subway…standing. I saw this woman and quickly grabbed by Sony Cybershot—thank goodness I had it handy bcuz I couldn’t have taken this shot with my big Nikon…so I shot without a flash and captured her. She seemed such an ideal subject. I love to photograph candids like this…and if I get them while they’re reading it’s a very opportunistic moment. The Benefits of Reading / by LeAnn R. Ralph Did you know that reading can keep your mind active and engaged well into old age? Several years ago when I was working as a newspaper reporter, I interviewed a woman who was a resident at a local nursing home. She was 100 years old. And she read at least one book per week. Mostly novels. She was bright, intelligent and fun to talk with. “I love to read. It helps me keep up with what’s going on in the world,” she said. “A friend of mine brings me a new book every week. I look forward to her visits and I look forward to the books. We talk about the books we’ve read.” Reading has other benefits, as well. For one thing, reading a good story can help you forget some of the problems in your own life. “I can’t get around much anymore,” said the 100-year-old woman who lived in the nursing home. “When I go somewhere, I have to go in a wheelchair now. But when I read, I can go anywhere, anytime I want. And no one has to help me!”
