'Life's end' - Series of images of the last days of my fathers life, March 2020. 'Through the light', 'Frail hand', 'Breathe' and 'Struggle'
You maybe wondering why the glass cup. Well, while I was waiting in my fathers kitchen, I notice the sunlight shining though the backdoor window across the granite worktop with the resulting in a narrow reflection and shadow over the glass. Always having my Leica with me I took a couple of shots and then it dawned on me. My father is no longer able pick this cup up anymore because his medical condition means he has very little feeling or strength in his hands anymore. It was very hard to see a once strong man, slowly fading away.
All images of this short series taken with my Leica M4-2, Summicron 50mm f/2 on Kodak Tri-X film rated at a ISO 800 using sunny sixteen.
