As I worked my way through these photos, I felt the sadness, despair, and, a few times, hope as though I knew the woman and her family. I felt this did a great job of capturing the emotions and the struggles of cancer.
"These Photographs do not define us, but they are us." -Angelo Merendino
I think this quote is very accurate and shows a good point, we may have bad things in our life, we may make mistakes and these things are a part of us, but they aren't the entire whole of who we are, there are better things that are also a part of us and they balance out each other.
If I was faced with a situation like this, I truly do not know if I could shoot the deterioration and eventual death of a loved one. I hope and wish that I could but I know the probability is unlikely.
If I could write Angelo a letter I would commend him on his strength and on his talent and I might ask for his thoughts and emotions while his was taking the photos.
