About Carolyn
I am a photographer living in Westchester county, NY. I have been shooting commercial advertising for the past 20 years. I recently received a small business grant from British Airways. I won 10 business class flights to any 4 destinations that BA flies. It was a contest based on a series of essays that I wrote explaining how face to face travel could change my business and help it take a more photo journalistic path. My essays talked about the fact that I am a 3 year survivor of ovarian and endometrial cancers, and that since I have been sick, I have been looking for an opportunity to travel around the world documenting photographically how women with cancer are intrinsically connected. I would like to show how our struggles, hopes, joys, and concerns have no borders. That we share a common bond, regardless of where we live around the globe. This blog is hopefully going to document this journey over the next year.
Carolyn,
Very cool project you are working on and good luck in your fight. I too an a survivor and am meshing my creative background (writer) and journey to share peoples’ cancer experiences. Could you send me some of your most beautiful pictures and brief explanations – I can post them on my site for cancer survivors. Also, a brief explanation of the pictures? Is there a short story to tell of them? That is, if you care to share with me and others. My site. http://www.1UpOnCancer.com, should launch the first or second week of December.
Thanks and take care.
Rachel
