Adults with Cystic Fibrosis portrait series
Over 20 years as an Art Director makes the difference in my work. You can learn technical skills as a photographer,
but having a great eye is what really matters. I was lucky to work with many great photographers, and was mentored
by some great creative minds in the Canadian advertising industry - it taught me how to work with people, how to connect
with my subjects, and most importantly how to see things with a designer's eye

entry description
As an adult myself living with this fatal disease, I decided to undertake this project of travelling around North America and take portraits of other adults suffering from CF. These 5 are just a few of the 100+ I plan to take by years end. Generally regarded as a "childhood" disease - only because not 20 years most kids died before 18 - adults with cystic fibrosis are living longer but also now dealing with a host of other problems. I want to document this and have the people tell their stories.about the photographer
