The Grind: Life in the PGA (Patient Gowning Area)


These slide shows display photographs of the legs and feet of prostate cancer patients as well as some of the staff at the M. D. Anderson Proton Therapy Center who treated us - over 40 unique photographs in all. Shot during my treatment period (September 14 - November 4), the goal was to capture the different characteristics of each person in a less recognizable, partial portrait fashion.

Almost all were taken under low-light conditions (producing a slightly grainy effect), all were enhanced using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, and with the exception of my legs and feet (shot by another patient, with thanks), all were taken by me. All were edited by me.

My sincere thanks and appreciation to all portrayed in this presentation for permitting me to take their photograph and realize this concept.

Any and all visitors should feel free to post comments.
