one eye

Following my project related to death, I decided to work in a hospice to get some images of the people close to the end of their life. I found this lady that have to use her thumb to open her eyes. I have to confess that work there has been one of my toughest experience in documentary photography, it's hard and depressing, but it's part of my commitment to go beyond my comfort zone.

Like your previous projects, I find your new one to be very interesting.
 
A very interesting idea...it's often the unspoken subject for humans...yet it defines our own humanity that we are concious of our own mortality. I think this is a great image to start. Rgds, Kal

A very emotional project you have chosen, but I think these make a great contribution. Good work, again. Steve.

I love the photograph. I am a disabled person. I am often taking photographs of other disabled people, including those in hospice care. I trust that you obtain appropriate permissions, including signed releases from your subjects. Otherwise, such work holds absolutely no value and should never be shown publicly.
 
so much of your work i have seen has been on the edge.
this too and it has the same sensitivity that you have
for all your subjects.

it is great to see your work again !
