Most Welcome…

By ctaylorphoto | Published: July 31, 2010
From the moment that I crossed into Jordan and the first border guard greeted me with “you are most welcome in Jordan”, I knew that I had just entered a very special place.  Everyone you meet says that you are “most welcome” and they truly mean it.  Jordanians are some of the kindest, most hospitable [...]

Sorry that I haven’t posted anything yet from my wonderful trip to Jordan, but the hard drive on my laptop died on me the morning of my presentation at the King Hussein Cancer Center (and it was my birthday to boot).   I do have everything on a back up drive, but have been overwhelmed [...]

  • About Me


    I am a photographer living in Westchester county, NY. I have been shooting commercial advertising for the past 20 years. I recently received a small business grant from British Airways. I won 10 business class flights to any 4 destinations that BA flies. It was a contest based on a series of essays that I wrote explaining how face to face travel could change my business and help it take a more photo journalistic path. My essays talked about the fact that I am a survivor of ovarian and endometrial cancers, and that since I have been sick, I have been looking for an opportunity to travel around the world documenting photographically how women with cancer are intrinsically connected. I would like to show how our struggles, hopes, joys, and concerns have no borders. That we share a common bond, regardless of where we live around the globe. This blog is hopefully going to document this journey over the next year.
