Beautiful work: The Day-to-Day Life of Albert Hastings

The Morning News has a beautiful gallery up today. The work is by Kaylynn Deveney, a PhD student in photographic studies at the University of Wales. She's had book published recently of images she's taken of her elderly neighbor, Bert, over a period of several years. They are so delicate and gentle and like you're just at the end of the world with this gentleman. Quite a few steps past the ordinary and right before stepping over the edge. There's an interview with Deveney accompanying the gallery. The best part though is the captions to the images, written by Bert himself.

Love it.
