More activities using digital cameras have been introduced to elderly people. The author has conducted such activities with elderly people in a Geriatric Health Services Facility for four years. Among them are Ms. A and Mr. B who take relatively a fewer number of photos of fellow residents and make somewhat unfriendly comments on the photos they took. However, in the wake of the diseases they experienced and the losses of their family members, changes in their feelings towards fellow residents were observed. This paper discusses the psychological changes they underwent by sorting out and analyze the photos they took over the past two years.
