'In Sickness and in Health'

I was at work the other day, and as you do was reading a magazine.

I found an article about a photographer called Colin Gray, He's done some good stuff.

This series of photographs caught my eye, it's so real and slightly unsettling.


“In Sickness and in Health” forms the final stages of “The Parents” series. Begun in 2000, it shows his parent’s deterioration and, ultimately, his mothers’ death. The hospital and church visits became more frequent, the ailments more serious, the drugs regime ever more complex. Whilst his father struggled with his new role as a carer, Gray found that his photographs helped make sense of the deterioration and loss he was experiencing. Having reached the age his parents were when he started the project, Gray now sees their history in his own future.
