Artists’ Statement

Happy Birthday to Me—Preexisting Conditions
James is our friend, he is 39 and has Basal Cell Carcinoma Nevus Syndrome, cancer. His Cancer has metastasized to his bone marrow and he’s fighting it with no insurance and very little energy to work. We created this project for him, called: “Just about really tired of my preexisting conditions”. These are images we photographed of him, his spirit and the effects cancer is having on him physically and mentally. We are pairing up images with quotes from his Facebook page about how he feels over the last year. Giving you insight into his world with cancer. More from this project.
 
Prayers for Paulette
Paulette has been fighting cancer for 10 years. We found her while in New Orleans’ lower 9th ward in an area we photographed during our original Katrina project. She was open to us photographing her strength and expression surrounded in her home landscape that was decimated during Katrina. More from this project.
