A few weeks ago my Brother-In-Law suffered a heart attack. This was another in a series of them that he has had over the past few years. This one was pretty serious, and he was admitted to hospital for a bypass operation. On May 17th he had the surgery, a triple bypass. The surgeons had to split his sternum and deflate his lungs in order to do the surgery, after which he was patched back together. He has been doing well and was released from hospital this past weekend, on May 22nd. He came to stay with us at our place for a couple of days as he needed to be monitored in the event of any complications. All has gone well and he has since returned to his own place, although it will be a while before he returns to work. These studio portraits were taken on May 23rd. These events have convinced him that it is finally time for some lifestyle changes. He has quit smoking and vows to improve his diet and get more exercise. I intend to make a large print of one of these portraits which will hopefully serve as a reminder if he ever feels tempted to slip back into his old lifestyle.
