What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images?
Going through the photos of this beautiful woman battling her breast cancer made me feel both a little upset, but I was happy to see that he cared enough about his wife that he wanted to save each little special moment that he had left with her before she withered away.
The photographer said this: "These photographs do not define us, but they are us." What do you think about this comment now that you have looked at the photos?
I think that by this comment, he meant that she wasn't just a breast cancer patient, she was special and still tried her best to live her life to the fullest within the restrictions. And himself, he was just somebody taking photographs of a woman going through the stages of breast cancer, he was a loving husband supporting her to the best of his ability, letting her know that he was always going to be there with her through thick and thin.
Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation?
I most definitely believe that I would be able to o this. Honestly, shooting these sorts of photos of someone that I loved and cared dearly for would obviously be tough, and would emotionally drain me reasonably quick - but if it meant capturing the beauty and strength of the person I loved fighting something this hard I wouldn't hesitate for a second to do exactly this.
If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say to him?
If I could ever write a letter to him, I probably would have said that he was a brave man to ever do something as simple yet as beautiful as this. I'd tell him it was an inspiriting series of photos of his wife and her struggle throughout breast cancer, and that he was one of the most loyal and caring man because of the fact that h stuck around and helped her through it. But most importantly, I'd tell him that I wished to be able to take the same quality photos as he did, with the same type of meaning, so that I could inspire more people to look at and take photos.
