'One of the ways I see my world more clearly is through my photography. Photographing my husband has been an intimate and loving process, as well as a way of keeping him close as he was leaving me. My husband and I were partners on 'I Still Do' book. Ed was not only my muse and cheerleader throughout the making of the book but, because of his willingness to put a face in front of the statistics, hes helped humanise an illness that has been in the closet for too many years.
This pictorial tribute to her husband provides a rare insight dealing with issues that face all of us - loving, aging, humour, trust and mortality - as well as living with Alzheimers. The visual portrayal of the disease embraces the reality of loving a spouse who is no longer able to remember.'
