My first trip to Costco after my stroke. I used the grocery cart for support. I left the walker in the car.
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. and causes more serious long-term disabilities than any other disease. Every minute counts, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. The best way to help someone having a stroke is to recognize the symptoms and call 9-1-1. www.stroke.nih.gov/index.htm

since the stroke, mom has improved quite a bit. when we visited on sunday for mother's day, she set up all her medication for the week... i double checked it... and she had no problem opening the childproof bottles... her left hand has really improved... she is getting more independent... i installed a nifty basket on her walker so she can carry things... even has a cup holder... when ann is here in a couple of weeks, we'll go to the neurologist to get the post-stroke baseline...

So this proclaimed statement is right in the fact that behind the photographer is a beautiful view of the New River Gorge, and some amazing mountains of West Virginia. I guess someone wanted to proclaim what they do when visiting Grandview Park. Different strokes for different folks!

The signature shot for the butterfly stroke. Missing are the fully extended hands with pointed fingertips. Every swimmer has a different stroke though and some try to keep their hands relaxed as they pull the arms forward. I think this is the most dynamic stroke in swimming. It is second easiest to photograph (the first being the breast stroke) and the results can be amazing.
For anybody interested, this is the same child from earlier in my photostream jumping backwards into the pool.

Es gab seltsamerweise nur Sitzplaetze, ich habe einmal unauffaellig versucht, meinen Bereich zu verlassen und mich zur Buehne durchzuschleichen, aber die Ordner waren rigoros und haben jeden zurueckgeschickt...

The low clouds didn't pan out this evening like I thought they would, BUT there were enough to give this wonderful brush stroke effect up in Mukilteo! This is a 128 second exposure at f/4 and ISO 100.
On the second evening of my trip, I was standing by the water tank on Forty Mile Ridge road trying to get a shot of a strong localized thunderstorm passing to the north. As I pressed the shutter button I saw the lightning strike.
The phallic rock in right foreground is Chimney Rock. It would have been too cool if the lightning had struck it.
Portrait photos of Joey Strokes. Parkour athlete and actor. We added his long time girlfriend into the shoot at the end of the day for some romantic couple shots.
Lighting: Profoto B2 we used a single head and switched up between OCF Grid, bare head, and zoom reflector. I would have liked to have used the OCF Octobox but we had a strong wind all day making it a bad choice for the conditions.

An overstuffed armchair and shower stool/ottoman might offer respite for our dementia or Alzheimer’s sufferer or caretaker. But this seat is ripped open with springs exposed; stuffed with clock and watch parts. Colorful fabric printed with jumbled female clothing— floating nighties, robes, socks —covers this chair, while the cushion on the floor is tethered loosely to the leg by a coiled rope. For, this “seat cushion is also a floatation device.”
Life-sized printed photographs of the same clothing covering the chair are encapsulated in acrylic, like specimens in a medical museum. Hovering directly on the wall are shredded garments and kept mementos crocheted into traditional ‘granny squares.’ This is literally and figuratively a fragmented history – the patchwork of an individual mind, a lost generation of craft. Similarly, an uplifted life preserver is offered to keep the patient or caretaker from drowning in dissolving memories, but alas, it is bound and laden with the detritus of the everyday.
While Alzheimer’s is a degenerative neurological disease, multi-infarct dementia (MID) is a vascular disorder that can result from depression, chronic drug use, and infections such as HIV; and can cause multiple strokes. Rates of Alzheimer's may be rising due to a growing aging population, but other major contributing factors remain a mystery.
What is clear is that women are at the center of this epidemic. A recent study jointly commissioned by the American Alzheimer’s Association and Maria Shriver‘s A Woman’s Nation found that 2/3 of all Alzheimer’s patients are female. This is only part of the story, as most of the 43.5 million Americans providing unpaid care for their relatives are also women.
A small tableau element represents hope for a cure, however. Rather than initials, the embroidered monogram on the slippers, “BACE, ” stands for beta secretase enzymes, contributors to the production of the plaques that cause nerve damage in Alzheimer’s. Experimental drugs to block this enzyme (BACE inhibitors) could slow or stop the disease – exciting research that may result in longer, more productive and happy lives.
