Aunt Beck: A story of nursing home love and neglect.     Early in the year 2000, my cousin urged me to "Go to Louisville and photograph the bed sores and find out what the heck is going on." This request resulted in my instinctively documenting the last two weeks of our aunt's life.     The New York Times reported in January 2001 the following: "Congressional investigators recently issued a report finding widespread violations of federal health and safety standards in nursing homes in five states. To those who live inside many such places, it comes at no surprise. When aged people are dying it is not always 'Tuesdays With Morrie,' nor does it always involve the exceptional care Bill Moyers portrayed in his PBS series about death."     These photographs attempt to educate and explore a number of issues. This is what happened to an attentive family who never knew until to late the degree of neglect in Beck's care and its results. This single instance magnifies the deficiencies in our cultural approach to death and the state of health and extended care industries nationwide.     This work further shows the need to sensitively encourage people, young and old, to be aware of their mortality. It illustrates problems the elderly have caring for their own elderly and the importance of seeing all death as a part of life.
