When Albert Hastings was 85 years old, photographer KayLynn Deveney moved near his small flat in Wales. KayLynn took notice of the small rituals and routines - gardening, laundry, grocery shopping - that made up Bert's life. A friendship slowly developed as KayLynn began photographing parts of Bert's day. The two began a simple yet effective method of storytelling - with KayLynn's images and Bert's handwritten text - that evolved into The Day-to-Day Life of Albert Hastings, a poignant and profound chronicle of aging, living alone, and the small joys that make up our daily lives. Containing 78 annotated photo- graphs along with poems written by Bert, his clock drawings, and personal family photographs, The Day-to-Day Life of Albert Hastings gives the reader a glimpse into one man's life; we can only imagine what stories are left untold. |
