Hi good folks of the internet.
I am in an ongoing project of documenting the stuff my friend and I do in this , the most likely last summer she is with us. I am using film in a half frame for diptychs, instant film, an action camera and my main shooter.
I am trying to think in the ways of a life well lived, not just an existence. How do you conserve the memories in a way that gives us comfort in the long run? How do you meet the frail mortality of the body with the potential of long lasting media?

What is the stuff that we wished we had in the long run? What moments are worth trying to conserve and when is the moment meant to be lived now, just to be a feeling of love and connection later? When our time comes, what will be the moments of recollection and the stuff we are proud of having lived and documented?

These are a fraction of the questions this process is invoking in me.

What are your toughts of the consept of conserving, living and creating? How do you guys capture the fleeting moments with your loved ones? What do you think of your personal archive of memories and art, beauty and the loss that comes only when we love the people and the life we are living?

This life is fragile and momentous, yey!

Feel free to meditate with me with your experience, wisdom, humor, pictures, thoughts and well... enought from me for now.
 
Thank you, @John King for your fine words, this end comes to us all. Some of us just get the opportunity to reflect more about this from time to time. And one of those things is the opportunity to go into this knowing these things in advance and reflecting over what is memories worth collecting.

A friend has just told me today that the spot on his lung is a mesothelioma, and that he has 3-12 months to live. He is currently 80 y.o.

He is at peace with this diagnosis.

Yeah, my friend is 55. But no matter their age, they wil be missed in our future life. So sorry that you to are being deprived of a friend in this life. The really good ones can be hard to come by.
