Nicely put Don Tim -----Original Message----- From: pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Don Sweet Sent: 06 November 2009 04:57 To: pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [pure-silver] Re: Wonderful Photo Essay Hi David It would be natural to regard some of those photos exploitative or demeaning. But don't you find that analysis is ruled out by the context - specially the words, and the overwhelming message of affection and respect that the full series conveys. The only unfortunate photo I thought was dad "on the throne", although the image itself was reasonably discreet, and it was probably just the text that made me wince. The photo essay informed us about the best of his life and his relationships. They were still part of the man as he declined; they were not to be found only in some old photos from his youth. What the essay teaches us is that even at our weakest time, our spirit and our dignity remain evident to people who look at us fondly. So long as we have them there is nothing to fear, and nothing to hide away.
