Global Focus on Cancer

By ctaylorphoto | Published: March 24, 2012
It was impossible for me to ignore the impact traveling for my photo project had on myself and those closest to me. Seeing first hand the devastation that cancer causes around the world left me feeling compelled to do more than just tell stories and take photos about it. In so many of the countries [...]

  • 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.
