I agree for the most part, but being that I am a photographer as well,

I understand what he is trying to acheive with his art. A very hard

thing to photograph in my opinion.

Before all this started with the photos, I too was trying to figure

out a way to express the feelings I am going through, through my

art... Through photography! I talked to my social worker about it in

fact yesterday. I have the photos in my head, but what I really need

is a subject.. someone to let me photograph them through the changes

and emotions, and at the end, show a beautiful woman, still sexy,

still soft, with breast or without... still very much a " woman " . I

keep wondering if they would allow me to photograph these individuals

at the Cancer Center if they agree. I am just too nervous to ask

someone. I have even considered photographing myself, which of course

would be very hard!!!

I could see myself, crying, running for the camera, setting it up,

still trying to cry and hold on to that emotion and then SNAP!!! I

dont think it will work out LMAO
