About this title: When Albert Hastings was eighty-five years old, photographer KayLynn Deveney moved near his small flat in Wales. KayLynn took notice of the small rituals and routines gardening, laundry, grocery shopping that made up Bert's life. A friendship slowly developed as KayLynn began photographing parts of Bert's day. The two developed a simple yet effective method of storytelling with KayLynn's images and Albert's handwritten text and the project evolved into "The Day-to-Day Life of Albert Hastings" a poignant and profound chronicle of aging, living alone, and the small things that make up our daily ...

"A wonderfully poignant book with beautiful photographs depicting the mundane activities of the daily life of a pensioner. There is a beauty to these photos that makes us look at life from another perspective. Albert's captions to these photos give us an insight into the way he views his own life, and occassionally the world around him. I believe it's a fitting tribute to a man who sadly is no longer a part of this world."
"I read this at Powell's today, and found it very moving and lovely. Quiet and powerful photographs give one a window into the last year or so of Hastings' life. Recommended."
"Photographer Kaylynn Deveney presents this exquisite collection of images of her elderly neighbor, Albert Hastings. The shots capture the quiet grace and elegant domesticity of the older man, who was 91 when the book was published. (He has since died.) This is one of those tiny little books that makes you feel quiet and pleased when you look at it."
