Elusive Memories #3

Your series is very well done, and at the same time, hard to look at. Thanks. Looking forward to more.

Thank you/ this series was emotionally draining. This lady has advanced Alzheimer. Have two more series to print and one more to make. Seems my images are a bit dark, have to figure out how to make them look more like the prints.

Again, deeply moving. You say "a bit dark", yet for me, the leftside highlights, as well as your placement of other elements offer an aesthetic and optical balance.

I witnessed this 'process' with my mother and mother in law too, but didn't 'dare' to make pictures. My lovely mother was gone into a (sometimes) horribly stranger. Reading at that time in 2003, Susan Sontag "Regarding the pain of others". This was my pain and not suitable to witness or recorded on film for an outsider. Now, 13 years later I think; maybe this was not for me or my boys but for my (unborn)grandchildren to see. Aloofness is a state of mind, maybe. Thanks anyway.
