New Project: "On Life" series
On Life is easily the most ambitious project I've decided to tackle thus far. It will be a multi-part series of photos chronicling several different phases and aspects of life. Currently, I have 3 different parts planned - "On Birth", "On Love" and "On Dying". The titles are pretty self explanatory, but I'll go ahead and discuss them further anyway.
"On Birth" - As the title implies, the photos will be chronicling the process of birth, such as the expectant mother, a newborn infant, the family with their new addition, etc. I'm looking for several participants so please contact me if you're interested.
"On Love" - This series will cover everything from grade school crushes and teenage romances to couples tying the knot and throughout their lives as married people. Obviously I won't have any trouble finding married couples, but the other couples in love might be more challenging to find and photograph.
"On Dying" - I know this sounds morbid and perhaps it is, but death is part of life. I anticipate that this will be a hard series to shoot, both emotionally and in terms of finding willing participants. But, as in the book "Tuesdays With Morrie", I feel people who are nearing the end of their lives have a special kind of wisdom and peace that no one else has and that deserves to be documented.
As always, I'll post more about the projects on the blog and on my Art site (which should be fully functioning within few weeks).

Tony:
Having been part of a number of people's last few years on earth, I commend you for taking on such challenging projects.
The "on love"part is a wonderful challenge....people who love each other, who have no children; the wife of a parkinson's patient I know is a devoted, loving spouse of almost 40 years.
Death & the process of dying steal away human dignity.
Love is patient, love is kind, love always waits.....sometimes just a little further away.
It is always a pleasure to work with you. If I can be of any help, please feel free to call.
