Last month, I spent another afternoon at the Belknap County Nursing home. I was there to continue work on this year-long personal project, which I began last November. (See bottom of page for links to Parts I-XI).
Leo
“I like it here.”
“But I haven’t seen my wife in a year. She lives in Concord. We have no way to see each other.” [Concord is about a 40-minute drive]
Mary
“Are you able to straighten your head for a second?”
Lorraine & Phil
“How long have you been married?”
Lorraine: “We’re not married.”
Phil: “Fifty-five years.”
Anna
“I like to be outside. I’m 85. I don’t worry about skin cancer.”
“I look good in hats.”
Jane and Nat
Nat: “We’ve been married 65 years.”
Jane: “He’s my love!”
Nat: “Every year I went to Saudi Arabia to hunt with the King.”
“Are you done taking pictures yet?”
“Do you want me to be?”
“No, that’s okay.”
Jane: “I love him so much.”
(I also photographed Jane for Part I. Link below.)
