On
Sunday, September 20, 2009 the inspiring, youthful Jane Goodall’s
Roots & Shoots members and friends come together all over the world
to promote peace in support of the United Nations International Day of Peace.
In Boston, members gathered at Jamaica Pond where over 500 people attended. I
was honored to be included to photograph this incredible event along with CBS
and FOX news.
According to the Roots & Shoots website ‘the history
of Roots & Shoots Day of Peace begins in 1981. In that year, the United Nations
General Assembly passed Resolution 36/67 declaring an International Day of Peace.
Subsequently, in 2001, the General Assembly passed Resolution 55/282, which designated
September 21 as the yearly International Day of Peace. The intention for the U.N.
in these actions was to have the entire world spend a day in peace and free of
violence.’

May 11, 2010, the creators of the ONE In EIGHT Project,
had their debut at the Huntington Hospital Cancer Center in Pasadena,
CA.
Devon Williams, the creator of the ONE IN EIGHT project,
along with, Catherine Ellen Money, the photographer for the
“Pasadena Portraits, and Jan Ping, Emmy
award winning make-up artist, were there to discuss the project and
unveil the imagery for the first time to a breast cancer support group
and panel of staff psychologists and its subjects.
The event included a panel discussion, a photographic slide presentation,
and finished art of three of the current eight photographs attributed
to the “Pasadena Portraits”.
As each woman’s intimate story was revealed, the evening unfolded
like the blossoming of a beautiful flower. Supported by these intimate
images, it was a powerful and emotional evening. Sharing photographs
of my
mother, a 30 year breast cancer survivor, now in her 80’s
was personally profound for me.
Perhaps this passage that I offered to the seminar, will help convey
my deepest sentiment.
“It is my humble honor to be given this opportunity, through Devon,
to bring to a fuller awareness, the truths and beauty residing within
these incredible women. As an artist, it is not only my task to record
the realities of this horrible disease, but much more importantly, to
bring it to a greater place of light. A light , which illuminates the
human spirit. It has been my sincere goal to capture the unique qualities
that each woman brings to this journey. A strong reminder, that we are
much more than the sum of our bodies.
We are Hope. We are Courage. We are Inspiration. We are Love.
And Love, above all else, stands as the greatest healer of all.
It is my heartfelt desire, that my imagery radiates a Love that will
begin to heal these scars. Please approach these images with gentle
eyes.
Please take the time to seek the beauty that quietly lingers
beneath the surface. There is more within than meets the eye.”
