Here are some scans from one of the last 35mm rolls I shot of dad. There are 3 partially shot rolls in 3 other bodies yet. These pics were made with a Leica rangefinder, STAND development and Tri-x exposed at 800.
These are some of the most difficult photos I have ever had to make. I wanted to complete dads story, he told me to finish it and I did. I will make a few more pictures yet at the viewing and at the funeral like dad wanted, then I need to rest. It has been very difficult and emotional to keep photographing. I have cried until I can't cry anymore. Poor poor dad, at least he died at home with people who loved him.
Maybe dads photo story might help raise money for pancreatic cancer research.

Note* There is a bit more negative space above moms eyes in the 3rd photograph, I lost it in the scan. I might use this shot in the Rosebud show. For this last photo of mom and dad I shot wide open (I think) with a 35mm F1.4 lens and Tri-x at 800, the shutter speed was also very slow I think 1/15th of a second.
