Loving and living with Alzheimers

I still do

These images are so precious and so poignant.The husband of American photographer and writer Judith Fox – Dr Ed Ackell – was told he had Alzheimer’s Disease in 1998, three years into the couple’s marriage.

Since then, Judith has watched Ed – a man who used to perform surgery and fly planes – forget how to do everyday tasks, such as make a cup of coffee or use the telephone. While caring for him at their home in California, she took photographs to capture his gradual decline.

These images – first published in Judith’s book ‘I Still Do’ – are now being displayed in central London.

Take a look, as Judith tells her story.
