Julia, Number 10 PL, still lives by herself in her house, surrounded by memories of the past. Pictures of her husband and wedding portraits of her children adorn the walls. She is 89 years old, a very proud woman, despite the fact that her memory fails her from time to time. She likes to dance and to sit outside on her little wooden bench, to watch life go on. On colder days, she sits in a chair by the front window so she can keep an eye on things. Since making these portraits, Julia had to move to a home.
One of the loveliest, most touching and most beautifully "gathered" galleries I've seen, with varied moments of Julia's life lovingly recorded. She reminds me of my own 87 year old Swedish mother, even to the house and the decor. It makes me want to go back to NY and follow my Mor around, and record her for posterity -- she is still a powerhouse, even after open heart and cataract surgery, and is busy creating, decorating, planting and living life to its max.

Hier heb ik dus echt van genoten, haar huisje doet me herinneren aan mijn grootmoeder. thanks for sharing!
This works beautifully, Mo. It is varied in content, pace, and form. It accumulates meaning from image to image. When we are finished, we feel as if we, too, have been in her presence. Great job.
