Not a very great picture technically, but Alice and Ralph have been married 60 years. They live across from each other in the nursing home. Alice has Alzheimer's and does not recognize him anymore. Ralph still sits and talks with her everyday. Love is a powerful thing.

This has been one of my favorite photos from the entire series. Janet was one of my favorites to visit, the day I shot this Janet had fallen. I hung out with her as she iced her head. When I came back a few days later she seemed to have recovered. I wasn't able to go for a week or two after that because of finals, so I went the day before I moved to say goodbyes and give them a book I made for them. I found out that day that Janet had passed away from an internal brain hemorrhage from the fall. So now this photo kind of haunts me. She was a beautiful lady.
