Maggie Steber
Millions of Americans are now caring for their elderly parents. Photojournalist Maggie Steber is one of them, but she's always had a tempestuous relationship with her mother, Madje. But then Madje developed dementia. Maggie found one way to cope was to take pictures of her mother. The photos have revealed sides to her mother that Maggie never knew before. As Maggie puts it half-ironically: "Dementia gave me the mother I always wanted". Maggie arranged for her mother to move from Austin to Miami, where Maggie lives. Maggie now spends as much time as she can with Madje, who used to hate having her picture taken, but now loves it.
