My father, John Doyle, died on January 21 of this year from complications surrounding an inoperable brain tumor. He had been in the hospital for nearly nine months and had been unable to communicate normally and was partially paralyzed for the bulk of this period. His battle with this tumor dates back to March 2005.
A few weeks after he died, I found his iPod going through his belongings. The Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt" was the most played track on my father's iPod.
This video was filmed in March-April 2010 at the following locations:
The Watermill Center, NY
Westbury, NY
Montreuil, France
The photos are a combination of older family photos, older personal photos of my own and photos I took on recent travels in March-April-May 2010 through Belgium, Germany, France and Québec.
Thanks to the staff at The Watermill Center; to Delphine Dhilly for the Montreuil camera work; and to Manuel Schapira for his hospitality in Montreuil.
