Death wish?

Let it be quick and painless. This has nothing to do with anything like that 'bucket thingy'.

I do not see what this has to do with photography. Educate me if otherwise.

Yet...you contributed.

Perhaps take portraits with and of my closest family and freinds.
It would give them something by which to remember me.

TW, I've given this a good bit of thought. As for the time remaining, I'd like to spend it doing the photography I've enjoyed until now. As to how was the more prominent thought. I'd like to die at the age of 150 by getting shot in the back by a jealous husband while I was climbing over the backyard wall.

My main goal as an amateur photographer for over 65 years ( I am 80 now) would be to make sure my photo files are available to my loved ones. I very recently lost my daughter who was an aspiring professional photographer. I am still trying to access her photos.

A shot in the back might not kill you and you could end up spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair

Select my very best images, print out multiples of each, put them in albums and give copies of these albums to friends and family. Although I have been printing my images, generally I've only been making one or two prints of each.

I love this idea.

First of all, I wish both you and your friend well. However, I don't quite get the seemingly angry responses that you have towards those that "don't get it."
After all, you are asking us (UHH'ers) to reveal something very personal about themselves in their priorities.
For me personally my objectives when I come face to face with my mortality, if I am given that chance, will have VERY little to do with photography.

In order of precedence, my objectives are and will always be: 1. God, 2. Family/Friends/Charity/Country, 3. and then all other things.
Now before anyone reads anything into my order of precedence, please keep in mind that I fought for my Country.
So ALL items listed in number two are tightly grouped together.

I guess that photography, which is my hobby and provides a very much needed creative outlet would fit somewhere in category "3. and then all other things."
Smile,

This would be after the fact, but bury me with a GoPro set to do time lapse.

My wish is to be buried at sea and save the money to buy one of my grandsons a full frame camera. Then he can live a more adventurous life than mine.

Good point, Graham. Thanks for the guidance. I'll have to re-think this plan for when I'm 150 years old. Fortunately, I have some time to do that.
Cheers

Attach all my el-cheapo action cams to my glider, take off Frailey because it's a cliff launch and easy to get airborne at about 12:30 pm catch a giant thermal and spend my time at cloudbase enjoying the view. Take a point and shoot for those sudden once in a lifetime shots and hope to die in flight.

I would sit outside with my immediate family and enjoy the sky, trees, birds and most of all the comfort of my family I am not afraid of death

Hike the Canyon one more time. Drive every road in Ecuador I can (taking pictures, of course). Go to Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Return to Petra. Take someone with me to carry my cameras for me!!!!!
