Part of a photo-documentary series on my mother's death. It's not a subject oft explored, nor talked about - all the more reason, I figured, to cover it - plus it was an outlet to explore my own emotions and grief..... even at the time I clicked. We're all going to die one day. However, we British (generally) do everything we can to avoid talking or thinking about it ...

Of the many observers on the rooftop patios, I chose this one on the corner of 8th and Hennepin in downtown Minneapolis. It was the most colorful, and the corner location made a very nice compositon, I thought.
Absolute Vodka makes a real push during Pride. I am sure it is the same in other cities. The bottles of Absolut that the bartenders use have a special label displaying the Pride colors. Pretty jazzy.

Cuba's Casas Particulars (5)
Lodging in a casa particular can be one of the most interesting experiences you can enjoy during your trip to Cuba. Aside from having the chance to meet travelers from around the world you will know the Cuban reality from within, living with a Cuban familiy. Another important argument is the price. Casas particulares are the most economical option for your stay in Cuba.
I really love taking couple’s shots. It gives some sort of balance to the image. Ben & Yuval 📍 Tel Aviv.
The Aomori Nebuta Festival is a Japanese fire festival held annually between August 2nd and 7th in Aomori city. Every year more than 3 million visitors gather for the festivities from all over Japan and abroad to attend. During the festival, over twenty dynamic nebutas – massive lanterns floats based on kabuki or mythical stories – parade through the city of Aomori. On the evenings of August 2nd through 6th and daytime of the 7th, colorfully dressed Haneto (nebuta dancers) as well as flutists and drummers convey the nebuta floats through the city. On the night of the 7th, the nebutas are placed in boats and ferried around the Aomori Bay as fireworks light up the night sky to conclude the festival.
The Aomori Nebuta Festival has been designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Properties of Japan in 1980.

Mum and my brother. Mum, as she lay dying, was afraid before the priest came. Not long after the last rites/prayer, she was visibly much more at peace and stopped fighting.

This image was taken in Pundaket, San Antonio, Zambales,Philippines.A less than an hour trip from from my grandparent’s house “Brgy.San Juan.
Pundaket Beach is famous for its Sunset picturesque, since it is already facing the South China Sea.
I was really hoping that I may be able to get a nice sunset view that time, that’s why me and my family waited for almost two hours. But it was already dark, cloudy and the breeze is already cold. I thought that day, probably it will rain again, since the past days were really rainy days. But at 5:39 pm something had happen….
“It was Dark but suddenly there was Light”
To see and feel the warm rays of the sun at that cold moment was really a spectacular experience.
Mum, as she lay dying in her last days. This was taken as my brother and I kept the many hours of vigil at her bedside. Though the doctor gave her only hours, she fought it (I think from fear), and lasted 5 days without food and water before she finally went.
