Caregiver, my piece in the invitational show, represents a photographer’s level of intimacy with the subject. This image was made a month before a friend’s father passed away. It chronicles his slipping away from our world of clarity and vitality. Even the space he occupies is metaphorically devoid of color and vibrancy. In a rare moment of relief from the burden of caretaking, his wife and caregiver smiles in resilience.
