While looking for a last story for 422, I went to New Hope Assisted Living Center and made a few pictures, talked with two women there. Not sure that's where my story is, but I like these two frames together.






Marian Hutchins, 93, eats dinner Nov. 23 in her room at New Hope Assisted Living Center, where she has been living for about three years. Marian, maiden name Sheehan, was born in Isabella County and grew up on a nearby farm, where her son Fred, 65, now resides. After attending Central Michigan University to became a teacher, she was married at 24 years old and in 40 years' marriage to her husband, Raymond, had six children. Today Marian enjoys knitting, reading magazines, and watching television, especially Jeopardy and The Price is Right.

I'm hungry for life and pictures and giving of myself. Photojournalism, for me, is an avenue for documentation, art, and compassion. All photos copyright Libby March, Central Michigan Life, The Midland Daily News, The Jackson Citizen Patriot, or the Concord Monitor.
