If someone does photograph me (with or without dementia and/or other maladies) when I'm 70 - 90 I hope they don't use on camera flash, I hope they shoot from the shadow side, I hope they get the color balance (or fine monochrome tonalities), I hope they compose well, I hope they capture a fine moment with feeling. If they post pictures of me on the internet, or publish them on paper, I hope they do not do so for the purpose of ridicule. I hope people who look at the photographs use words like beautiful, powerful, lovely, well done to describe the images. Finally, if I do succumb to some form of dementia I hope I can still do self portraits with a Leica, iPhone or whatever, play my flutes and harmonicas, and publish on the internet.
