After many years of watching talk shows, and knitting blankets, my grandmother has ventured out into the 'world' again. By which i mean, she's stepped out into Providence to see and live all its quiet charm and busy construction crews around every corner; in the company of a group of 60+ seniors. I guess nursing homes aren't all about Bingo and live performances from impersonators (Mister Lonely). She's loving every moment of her time there: the up and coming out of state-adventures, painting classes and lunch/yarn swaps, and even the weekly trips to Wal-Mart.
I've been thinking of giving her a camera to capture some of those moments, but until then, i've been looking at some photography that documents the life of people living in nursing homes or in hospices.
