Maddie, my Himalayan cat, in one of her moods. At the time that I took this photo, I had no idea it would be my last. She passed away Nov. 6. She gave me 19 years of purrrfect happiness….

From a recent High School Senior session. What a wonderful, talented young lady to work with.
From my Grandfather’s Ninety-Fourth birthday party.
This elderly lady is one of the oldest inhabitants in the quaint town Villa del Totoral in Cordoba, Argentina / /
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 Top Ten in the Mood & Ambience, The Seated Human challenge, July 2009 / 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 / The Fine Art of Photography
As one of the first guests to the global senior housing project, Molly has had to adjust a bit. She is now decorating her flat by experimenting with various elements of decor. She is keeping tight to her motto, “Good Thing I didn’t clean.” She always finds forgotten treasures when on a search for something else.

Bench in the early morning fog taken just outside a senior’s residence in Deux-Montagnes, Quebec on Friday October 24/08. This bench faces the Lake of Two Mountains and under normal circumstances would afford a great view of the lake. / I am really honoured that Alyssa (adgray) upon viewing this image wrote a lovely poem that is a perfect match to the emotion I wanted to convey with this work. / Here it is: WAITING OUT TIME / “There’s always someone sitting here / every day for the last sixty years / They shuffle up and rest their bones / and wait a while before going home They take their turn to enjoy their repose / sometimes sharing sometimes alone / They might overlap with the newer ones / vacating their place as their time comes Who were these dwellers of this bench / why is it’s usage so entrenched / They come to wait ‘til their time is done / ironic though as time waits for no one” / adgray Featured in the Benches group December 2008 / Featured in the Live, Love, Dream group October 2008

Natural light portrait of Savya. Photographed against a wonderful old wall in her neighborhood in open shade. It was a pleasant time for us both. Savya is always beautifully dressed where ever she goes. She practices sound healing and had 100’s of unique bells, bowls, and gongs (etc.!).

When I saw this prayer, written by an unknown author, at the Carmelite monastery where I do volunteer work, I knew I had to incorporate it into an image and offer its consoling words to those who are suffering from Alzheimer’s as well as to family, friends, and medical personnel who care for those afflicted with this disease. I chose an image of a cloud-filled sky as the sun was setting because those with Alzheimer’s are largely in the sunset of their lives and have to contend with many issues that cloud their lives. Prayer for an Alzheimer’s Sufferer Please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion, / Forgiveness for my irrationality, / and the strength to walk with me / Into the mist of memory my world has become. Please let them take my hand and stay awhile / Even though I seem unaware of their presence. / Help them to know how their strength and loving care / Will drift slowly into the days to come / Just when I need it most. Let them know when I don’t recognize them / that I will . . . I will. / Keep their hearts free from sorrow for me / For my sorrow when it comes only lasts a moment – / then it’s gone. And finally please let them know / how very much their visits mean, / How, even through this relentless mystery, / I can still feel the love. Amen

Today was the Torremendo, (Spain) Annual Fiesta, celebrating their Saints day, where 2 Oxen pull a cart carrrying a statue of Jesus around the town and horse riders and pedestrians proceed and follow. Last year I rode, but decided I would snap some photos this time. This elderly man had a wonderful character visage, so I plucked up the courage to snap a shot! He was just a follower. The day was blazing hot, so he must have been melting in his coat and hat. This is the first time I have managed to capture an older person to apply this effect to and I am quite pleased with the result! I have removed the background as it was full of people and was messy. / 2 hours worth of editing in PSP, including manually adding the Dragan effect! / Nikon D40 18-55mm / Started photography May 2008
