Pulitzer

I am inspired by this amazing series of images by Preston Gannaway. She was awarded the Pulitzer for the photo below from a series following Carolynne, a woman afflicted with cancer in her last months of life. The emotions and tenderness in every photograph are gripping. Preston was able to capture all the emotion without imposing.

All of the images are so compelling. I wonder how the family will feel about the documentation of their last few months with their mother and the progression of their family after her death. I don’t know that I would be able to look at them. They are all so hauntingly beautiful. This is a goal of mine as well. To photograph with a group of people for a period of time and become part of the background. To be able to tell their story like Preston has.
