Great gallery, Barri! V

This is one of my all time favorite galleries on Pbase...I had to come back again and leave you another note. You have captured a little slice of life so beautifully. Your parents have fantastic faces, I feel like I've been sitting in the kitchen with them, you can almost hear the conversation. Hope they are well.

Great, very warm and touchin gallery! BV

This proves you need not go far for good and interesting photography. The best photograohy seems to be of those things and people that really matter to us. Big vote!

At our best and most fortunate we make pictures because of what stands before our camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are. We never accomplish this perfectly, though in return we are given something perfect--a sense of inclusion. Our subject thus redefines us, and is part of the biography by which we want to be known. - Robert Adams

I love revisiting this gallery and feel as if I'm right there, in the kitchen, with my hands around a warm mug of coffee listening to the stories and conversations between those two beautiful people. Thanks again for this wonderful photo essay, Barri.

It's really lovely to see these. It's so sweet for devotion to remain for so long. A unique gallery indeed. ~V~

Guest		16-Dec-2006 10:52
Really good pics...You have captured the narrative without any words.

Russ Rose		24-Nov-2006 15:50

Guest		16-Aug-2006 08:12
Stunningly, lovingly candid. Vote from me

Guest		20-Jul-2006 12:57
Its lovely...the way your father gets up and does the chores or re-fills and he lets her just sit and relax. I aspire to have a marriage like this and am working very hard to make it possible. A truly warm and refreshing gallery featuring a truly inspiring couple. melvin

Lovely and blessing moments.. God bless them ;) ~voted~

Brings back memories - was 19 in 1965 went to New Zealand to study and there was this really elderly couple I saw in a lounge - so loving and I had to go over and ask this question (which they don't mind)do they love each other more after 40 yrs. Their answer? Yes and of course I can see that. Now I'm old and my answer? Yes. Hope the wife don't see this, she'll melt.

Guest		27-Mar-2006 12:25
very nice, did you try Black and white?

Guest		22-Jan-2006 20:22
It's so refreshing to see a gallery featuring "older people" coming up in the random Popular Galleries! Our society is so hung up on youth and T&A (as evidenced by some of the other galleries here that are popular for one reason only). This gallery is great!

scott clarke		17-Aug-2005 01:34
Oh yes, my favorite gallery is back.

Guest		16-Aug-2005 17:06
barri, i keep coming back to this gallery! not sure exactly why, but these pictures speak volumes to me. so representative of interactions we have all seen or been a part of, with our spouse. these pictures are awsome, as are a couple that has been together 60 years! ;)

Guest		07-Jul-2005 11:36
All has been said before...I just love this gallery. I hope to have somebody to have spirited conversations with, when I reach that age.

Guest		24-Jun-2005 15:49
i love this whole gallery barri, great work of storytelling with pictures!

allan everett		17-May-2005 05:47

Barri, just ran across this gallery. It is such a wonderful "slice of life". Thanks for sharing.--Rene

Jeanne Newman		16-Apr-2005 22:19
I have looked and looked and looked at this gallery hundreds of times and love coming back to it, as if those faces are truly familiar to me. What a well-shot sequence of images, Barri. They're superb. ~Jeanne

Hodero		08-Apr-2005 06:53
Sooo Sweet..!

Guest		30-Mar-2005 17:22
They are such touching, tender moments! And yes, we can almost hear their conversation!

rsub8		30-Mar-2005 16:33
Nice gallery. Couldn't help but smile, imagining the conversation. I especially like the half-smirk in 6761 and 6770.

Marc Demoulin		29-Mar-2005 19:30
Great pictures Barri, so simple moments of life but so touching. Regards. Marc
