It's been said before & it's so true, every life has been touched by cancer. All of my grandparents passed away from cancer, my maternal grandmother when she was only 54. I was 1 yr old when she died. I don't remember her. I don't know what her voice sounded like. I don't know what it felt like for her to hold me. The only connection I have to her is through the stories my mother has told me & old photographs. I have no real memories of her. I only remember looking at photographs of her. I've put together little scenarios in my mind of what was happening when the photos were taken, what converations were held, what smart ass comment was made to ellicit the smirk on her face.......A one dimensional piece of paper that has captured her image forever is the only visual memory I will ever have of this woman that my mother, my sister & I resemble so much. And I am so thankful for them. They have given me my grandmother. And even as I sit here typing this post & crying for the grandmother I can't remember I'm heartened by the fact that I, in my small way, am able to do the same for others. I am a Think Pink Photography participating photographer. Think Pink is a network of photographers who volunteer their time & talent in documenting the fight before, during or after the treatment for breast cancer.
Each photographer offers different discounts & specials & I've decided to offer 1 photography commission & the resulting high resolution digital negatives at no charge. So if you're interested or know of someone who might be please contact the studio anytime. And visit the Think Pink site to learn more about the foundation or how you can help or donate.
