Never really thought a personal project in photography would get to me like this one has...
To start with it was a good idea, but did I honestly think I would be brave enough to actually do it that was the question.
I knew that I would have to bring my past back to life... the painful memories of my brother being diagnosed and all the time it took to come to terms with it.
It feels like I've opened a healed wound...
The practical side of the subject I am really enjoying because its allowing me to photograph my family as how they are now... But the written side is proving difficult...
I decided to write about how life is and was, also getting both my parents and close relatives to write about their experiences. The saddest thing was asking Kyle to write what he likes and dislikes about his condition... It nearly made me cry seeing him write it...
Already I'm getting the reaction I wanted when people look at my book and hopefully it will give people a wider view on life... But its definately proving a tricky subject to work on...
