here my father is posing

here my father is posing, a photo by Susan NYC on Flickr.

Sometimes he mugs for the camera....

I was limited in what I could get in a pictures - the people in the background had to be out of focus (and sometimes I was asked to prove it).  No pictures of staff or residents in the nursing home.

When I first got a camera I naively took pictures of several residents on my father's floor. I got in a lot of trouble - the floor staff called administration who almost jumped me.

I had to promise I'd never take pictures of residents again and convince them to believe me.

A shame....the residents loved having their pictures taken.
