my daddy
With my photography, I want to create images that evoke emotions. I want to create images that will touch viewers.
I want to create awareness about a progressive, irreversible, and heartbreaking disease called Alzheimer’s.

I’m in the process of documenting my father’s battle with this disease. My hopes and dreams are to increase public awareness, and to help myself cope, as I slowly lose my daddy.
More info to come soon…

“Photo is a small voice, at best, but sometimes – just sometimes – one photograph or a group of them can lure our senses into awareness.
Much depends upon the viewer;
in some,
photographs can summon enough emotion to be a catalyst to thought.”

Beautiful image Robin with the evocative morning light. I lost my Mom to Alzheimer’s 6 years ago. I’ll be happy to share more with you as time goes on, but for now, just wanted to let you know, my thoughts are with you and I know the road you are traveling-
Thanks so much Mary. I will certainly take you up on that as time goes on…I also appreciate the feeling of the image. It really struck me when I walked by him in the family living room with that incredible light…
