In the U.S. today, over 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's Disease or related dementia. Each of these individuals has a story. And each one has caregivers, with stories of their own.You have questions - so many questions about what is happening now, and what is to come. How do I cope with this new manifestation of the disease? How do I prepare for an uncertain future?This is especially true when just navigating your way through each day can be overwhelming.Contained within these pages are answers to some of your questions as well as strategies for your future. In navigating this journey, it is important to remember two essential truths. The first is that the body may fail, and the mind may wander, but the spirit - the person inside - remains intact. The caregiver's role is to maximize the remaining strengths of the person they care for.The second is that you are not alone. Caregiving is often an isolating experience.Stories from the lives of others let us know that our experiences are not unique. Be assured that many have gone before, and others are walking the same road today.This is "I Know You by Heart: Navigating the Dementia Journey"

Badass and Badass Pix is not a genre. It's an attitude, an approach, a vibe. More than anything, it's Art Photography, which is a h-u-g-e and diverse categorization. It's you being a photoartist, not just a photographer. It's having the self-confidence to take risks, break the rules, and venture outside norms. It's rebellion! Anarchy! A fight for freedom! But you know: without jail time, a rap sheet, a prison tattoo, or stitches. Badass can be photojournalism, scenery, portraits. It is fun to screw around with all of those and add twists that baffle viewers. Badass is futzing around outside the boundaries of technology, good taste, or conventional artistic theory. Badass uses your tools, skills, and heart to make Art -- not just 'nice' photos. Badass Pix are squinted at, disqualified from contests, or vaguely labeled "mixed media," "digital graphics," or "weird sh*t." Most of the work I call Badass, illustrated here, is found-art photography, which more-or-less means art made by recording the image as one finds it. Simply…as is. Now I can imagine you saying, "Well, duh, that's pretty much all photography, now isn't it?" Not really: here's some help. Badass is trying to find images that most people miss or never see at all because it takes imagination (some might say awareness. Or both) to recognize them.

His play "Happily Ever After" was made into a short film in 2015.\nWhile he's dabbled in photography using heap cameras for most of his life, he didn't dedicate serious time to it until 2017, when he discovered the camera on his new smartphone was good for more than taking comic selfies or pics of his dinner to post on social media.\nAnd history was made -- you hold it in your hands!
