old animals

i love pictures of animals, i love black and white film, and i love the elderly. so obviously i love (x3) these photo's from isa leshko. she's going around the country going to shelters and other places to document animals towards the end of their lives: “I began the series as a means of exploring my feelings about my mother’s decline due to Alzheimer’s Disease,” she says. “As I’ve worked on this project, though, I’ve come to realize that these images are a testament to survival and endurance. And they raise questions about what it means to be elderly.” i think she lives in philly? her amazing work is represented by the Corden|Potts Gallery in san fran, the Richard Levy Gallery in albuquerque & the John Cleary Gallery  in houston.
