By ctaylorphoto | Published: April 3, 2012
Last Saturday marked the 3rd anniversary of the Breast Cancer Club (BCC) of the K Hospital in Hanoi, and Chris and I were honored to be there to celebrate with them.

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 [...]

Nairobi

By ctaylorphoto | Published: December 17, 2011
This was my third trip to the African continent in 6 months. I had spent a scant 30 hours in Cairo and an all too brief 10 days in Cape Town earlier in the year, but those places were not the Africa I had envisioned as a child. Sitting on the front porch of Jane [...]

Final Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society post

By ctaylorphoto | Published: September 11, 2011
When you first meet Bonnie Kam it is hard to believe that she is 40 years old and has been battling breast cancer for the past 4 years. She looks young, vibrant and healthy. At 36 she underwent surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, yet her cancer continued spreading into her bones. Despite her doctors’ best efforts, [...]

My Father

By ctaylorphoto | Published: September 6, 2011
In early May, my 86 year old father underwent major surgery to repair an aneurysm in his aorta. While the surgery was successful, sadly his recovery was not, and after a very brave and painful battle my father passed away on June 20th. My parents have always encouraged and supported me in every aspect of [...]

Back on Track, I hope…..

By ctaylorphoto | Published: September 5, 2011
First of all,  let me begin by apologizing for my lack of posting over the past 3 months. Life and work has literally been taking up every spare second of my time. At the end of January and early February I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania and in late March I used my final British [...]

My final BA flight

By ctaylorphoto | Published: March 13, 2011
I can’t believe that a year has gone by since I took my first trip to Geneva to start this project rolling.  It has literally flown by (haha, pun intended).  Honestly though, as my flight was taking off from NY last Wednesday night I was deeply emotional.  What a year it has been for me. [...]

Hanoi, Vietnam

By ctaylorphoto | Published: December 13, 2010
It is 9:00 am on very gray Saturday morning in Hanoi.  Chris and I are trying to locate the room where we are meeting Dr. Dieu Linh Nguyen and Mrs. Huong Phung Thi and their Breast Cancer Club.  Smiling faces gently point us up the grand old staircase in the K cancer hospital to the [...]

  • 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.
