20 Minutes from Home

My wife has dementia. My responsibilities as a husband and caregiver are to provide for her and to be the caretaker of her memories so I can pass them to my daughter and she can pass those memories to her generation.

This book of images is titled: 20 Minutes from Home

We live in Franklinton, NC and I always carry my camera with me. Forty years as a photojournalist it's hard not to have a camera. These images tell the story of my journey to the store, to my swim class or dropping my daughter off to school. Moments captured seeing the light and moving on. It seems like I'm always moving on. My tasks as a caregiver are demanding, but a road that I must travel. We all had dreams to retire travel, write the great novel or just sit and hold hands and watch the sunset.

It’s all changed now and that is why I’m doing an e-book of my images 20 minutes from Home. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated towards Alzheimer's research, care and support.

It’s time for all of us to make a difference.

Together we can help change the future.
