My sister Susan on her deathbed, haloed by my fedora in a double exposure with an X-E1/35 1.4, January 2013.

My brother Anderson saying a Buddhist prayer to our mother, July 3 2012. She had breathed out her last breath 5 minutes earlier.

I had been with her for several days, and after she left conscious awareness, I made a number of exposures in that little room with a Rolleiflex 2.8D, a Lumix G1/20 1.7, and a Ricoh GXR / 50 2.0 Planar. Above is the GXR.

Both of these were the 2.8D, wide open, HP5.

Early 2015, my wife and son after her consultation with oncologists in Portland. I posed them against the tai chi crossed by branch shadows for my own reasons. Ovarian cancer is a terminal disease, no matter the term. She had another year and a half, and lived as well (“lovingly, generously and with courage” was her motto) as she could.

A7, Contax Planar 45/2
