<\/a>David Rabin, my wife’s father, died recently after a terrible couple of years with Alzheimer’s. He was a doctor, a good father and all-around sweet man. (Here is his obituary<\/a> in the San Francisco Chronicle.)<\/p>\n

Born in 1930, his life spanned a wide range of photographic tools. As I put together a slide show in his honor<\/a>, I scanned in formal B&W portraits made with a large format camera, yellowing square snapshots made with a Brownie-era box<\/strong> and dozens of 4×6 prints that came from the point-and-shoot cameras of recent years. I even had a few digital files from a few years ago before he got sick.<\/p>\n

Photographs, of course, can’t capture the essence of a whole life, but they provide a welcoming taste for those who have lost a friend <\/strong>or a member of their family. The digital revolution has made serving up that taste so much easier that in many ways it has changed the way we mourn.<\/p>\n

I’m used Soundslides<\/a> to create the slide show. Take a look.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s to you, David.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
