On this episode of Along The Seam, we are joined by Gina Martin to talk about memory loss through the lens of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Gina has been a force in the photography world for decades and spent 21 years working for National Geographic representing photographer’s work worldwide. Her mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at the age of 65 and after she passed away in 2016, Gina started The Bob & Diane Fund which annually grants $5000 to a photographer documenting Dementia. In this conversation, Gina shares her experience watching her mother suffer from the disease, her father's role as the caregiver and how the experience changed the course of her life. Rachael and Gina recorded this conversation on October 6, 2022.
