Been there, done that, six years ago this Thursday.

Very sad. Stay strong and try to make the best of it. There is good that can come out of these moments.

Thanks, Adam. My Mother's mind is gone, but the body keeps functioning. My Father's body is shot, but his mind keeps functioning. He was expecting to outlast her, but it doesn't look that way, now.

Hard to know which one is worse.

With advanced dementia it's the family who suffer most, but with other diseases it's the person with the disease.

Yes Eoin I agree with you we can now also shoot .... with our smartphone :D

Yes "practical" sure but not "artistic" in the true sense of the term , I remind you Monet :)

Watch a Monet painting that remains in our mind :)

Watch a real nice picture that remains

Look at a picture of smartphone .... Bof

 

.... and sometimes you can ask this type of question :D

Exactly. It's been about 9 years for my Mother, which has been very difficult for my Father. I guess the thing that's worse than getting old is not getting to get old.

Photos are a comfort, and keep happier days in mind. Occasionally I get out the boxes of family photos I have inherited and scan them. I came across this one of my father, evidently post-war as he is missing the right index finger, looking like quite the dandy in his suit with his pipe, stick and gloves.

He probably had my mother take the photo and developed and printed it himself. I started out with his Gnome enlarger and tanks.

My mum also has lived with dimenturr for the last 5 years and even though she has no idea who I am she tells me her son is nice and lives overseas. On Friday she told my wife that the guy who just went into the spec shop ( me ) was a nice guy.

Fit as a fiddle but but the cheese slipped off the cracker.

All we can do is make sure that every time we meet she has a good time and that mum doesn't get stressed out......... Which can easily happen

I know what you mean Chris.  This one was of my wife's mother (front row in black dress & hat) in 1948.  Original photo was in terrible condition (can't find the original scan right now) and took me hours to restore in PS. 

 

Interesting ears and hair on the man in the back row - fortunately not passed down through the family ;-)

Yes I am with Eoin. Bad disease and bad news. Research continue for this disease disaster.

But you have now some hope in the treatment and especially in prevention.

Stress developed in countries we say "civilized" contribute greatly to the establishment of the disease

and also pesticides in our environment :angry:

Lovely pictures Eoin

Chris, very touching this photo, I like much for the side memory which reminds us good times.

Thinking that , the image imperfections are secondary

My "scanning" of M/F continues, this an older 500C/M (6x6) Ektachrome EPR100 slide.

I've changed tack slightly, "built" a copy-stand that holds my X-Vario (and not just to keep it in the family, the X-Vario does a pretty good job).

An Elpro Vib rounds out the optical train.

The vignetting is on the original, I suspect (from the deepness of the sky) that I used a polarizing filter (as you did last century), and this may have vignetted.

Very nice Gary !!
