Thank you very much, Frank!
I was a little conflicted when I first took those photos for fear that
they might seem exploitative. But, then it occurred to me that they'd
taken on a new poignancy since his death, and that they were documentary
of his final days.
Again, thank you so much. You're very kind.

That's a very sad photo. He certainly looks from that picture like a man
drinking himself to death.
You have captured him in a very sympathetic yet brutally honest way. That's one
hell of a photo. I agree with Bob: one of the best seen here.
It's tough to look at.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Cheers,
frank

Subject: PESO: RIP Tommy
Hi all,
Once again, I captured the last image ever someone I knew -- in this
case, a guy named Tommy Pool. He used to frequent the club where I tend
bar, but a little over a year ago, he applied for a re-enrollment and he
was declined by the membership due to his inability to control his drinking.
Well, that didn't stop him from drinking himself to death, which he a
couple of weeks ago. I'd dropped by his place with a friend a few weeks
prior and he was in his usual condition. I happened to be carrying my
camera that night and decided to pop off a few shots. This was the last
one of the bunch:

Comments are, as always, welcome.
