Last Days

I photographed Reverend Gerald Gilmore, 100, and his granddaughter, Nina Gilmore,at his home in Orleans. Nina had come to Cape Cod to spend the last few months with her grandfather. I was so moved by the connection between Nina and her grandfather who, she said, was like a father to her. "He was filled with adventure, whimsy and light," she told me. I thought this moment captured the bond between them. A few days after this photo was taken, Reverend Gilmore passed away.
