I think Andy posted this here before. As then, you only need to read the first page and the power of the photography tells the story from there. A difficult project, well conveyed and so skillfully done not to put his father in any bad light or his illness as a painful one. Not one I’d care to take on myself.
Oops, sorry, didn’t see that, just came across it myself-
One thing I did notice though-
all the pictures are so carefully composed so as to exclude all clutter-
it just doesn’t exist-
Does that mean that the clutter was removed for the purpose of making photographs,
or that it didn’t exist in the first place?
I know that in most people’s homes, especially those of a certain age,
a lifetime’s worth of memorabilia and possessions will take over the space,
and your photographic compositions will lose some of their power and directness-
But it looks like theses pictures have been stripped bare to begin with…
Very moving stuff though, beautifully written, almost like a children’s story-
and the site is like turning over pages in the same way-
Very moving stuff indeed Joseph, and as you noted, the lack of clutter
(even in the text) really enhances the experience. A very well put together
collection of beautifully composed photographs…
I have seen it before, but, it was good to see it again, really thought provoking, was on my mind all day.
I was especially touched by the little story about the dog.
