Between spending time with Ed, traveling to speaking engagements and exhibitions, and beginning an exciting new photography book, I haven’t focused on my blog. I appreciate those of you who’ve continued to stay in touch with me and I do plan to get back to my blog when the time is right, so please stay tuned. In the meantime, I…
When I began writing my blog, I was warned that I shouldn’t start it unless I was committed to writing on a regular basis. You can see where that went. I’ve taken a seven month sabbatical—time does go by fast when you’re having fun. Since my last blog entry, I’ve given speeches about Alzheimer’s and caregiving in Montreal; Greenwich, CT.;…
Read MoreThe people I came across in Greece seemed very comfortable being photographed. Even the animal mascot in Mykonos, Petros the pink pelican, seemed comfortable in front of my camera. I love being asked to speak in venues as beautiful and friendly as Greece. And speaking of beautiful, the mountain village in the photograph below is real—although it’s so perfect it…
Read MoreI just came back from five days in San Francisco, where I went to attend the opening of an exhibition of my work I Still Do and Sea of Dreams. Here’s a review of the show by Robert Cortlandt: Next on to Fifty Crows in their new space (which personally I found rather dark) . They’re showing Judith Fox’s new work I Still Do….
Read MoreI was going to write about another suggestion for coping with AD, and then decided against it. Alzheimer’s is a significant part of my world and my life, but it’s not the only part. I’ve been thinking a lot about my photography and writing (which, admittedly, have helped me cope with Ed’s Alzheimer’s) and the part art plays in our…
Read MoreI just returned from trips to San Francisco and New Orleans, where I spoke to 2000 health care professionals. The people to whom I spoke were engaged and energetic and really interested in talking about what it’s like to live with AD. I was particularly touched by grown grandchildren who had experienced the gradual loss of a grandparent to the…
Read MoreSeems it never rains in sunny California … but girl, don’t they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours. It’s been pouring for the better part of three days now, and we’re cranky. Until this week, the only use my umbrella got was when I headed east. I know I’m spoiled, you don’t have to tell me. But I’ll confess: as…
Read MoreAlzheimer’s can be such a heavy subject to write about, and to read about. I’d like to lighten things up once and a while with one of my photographs. It works for me, but what I want to know is if it works for you. Please let me know how you feel about this direction. Oysterhub can be a beneficial…
Read MoreThere’s nothing quite like the lights of Manhattan. They’re musical to me—always pulsing, twinkling and moving. Much like the city. These photographs were taken from my hotel window during my recent trip to New York.
Read MoreWhile in New York for the opening of my photography show at the Andrea Meislin Gallery, I bundled myself up—added a few extra layers—and set off for a Chelsea gallery to see new images by one of my favorite photographers, William Eggleston. Not everyone loves his work, but I’m a big fan. Eggleston photographs ordinary objects that are usually invisible…
Read MoreThe opening of my solo show of photographs from “I Still Do” was yesterday at the Andrea Meislin Gallery in New York. There was a wonderful turn-out and I loved every minute of the event. I was also very touched by the people who showed up: there were four women who were high school classmates of mine with whom I…
