Farewell Sonata 

  

Jury Top 5 selected by Stephen Perloff:

 

"This is a sweet, tender, and loving story of those coping with old age and dementia of various kinds. These are the people Donald Trump and many Republicans like Dan Patrick want to sacrifice for the sake of the economy in the United States, while letting the pandemic rage. It is a fool's errand as there is no hope for the economy until the virus is brought under control." Stephen Perloff (founder and editor of The Photo Review, US)

"Emotional Seismograph" was selected as a semi-finalist 

 

This lady in the nursery captured my heart at once. She looked fragile and beautiful, even more when falling asleep during the animal-assisted therapy. She obviously felt comforted by the  chicken’s presence that translated her emotions. Animal-assisted therapy uses the genetically caused symbiotic connectedness between animals and humans to obtain physical and emotional well-being, it cannot be replaced by technic.
