Hey,
I'm a photographer based in Philadelphia whose father was diagnosed with ALS in January 2008. He's in the later stages of ALS and is super depressed. What makes things difficult for me is that my job requires me to be away a lot of the time, and if I'd visit home, both he and my mother would get upset that I'm not doing more to further my career.
So, one way that I'm hoping to cope is by meeting other people who have ALS or have been affected by this horrible disease. What I'd like to do is do photographic portraits of these people, preferably people whose life choices have some sort of connection to how my father lived his life. I'm hoping we can share our experiences and become stronger through sharing. If you would be interested in taking part, feel free to pm me.
