I first posted about New York-based photographer Phillip Toledano less than 2 weeks ago regarding his book PhoneSex.

Days With My Father is a photographic account of Toledano’s relationship with his father. In being motivated to capture the remaining time that they have together, he produced a poignant collection of images that lets us into the world of a man, who at 98 and with a short-term memory, is in the twilight of his years.

His images allow us to confront not only the frailties of the aged but also their thoughts on death and ambitions yet unfulfilled. While the tone is sombre, Toledano’s narrative reveals that there are lighter and heartwarming moments near the end of one’s life. And that with love, compassion and patience, they can be as rich and meaningful as any before.
