The first time I volunteered for Flashes of Hope I photographed patients and their families at NYU Medical Center’s Pediatric
Cancer Center. Yesterday I drove out to Sunrise Day Camp on Long Island and photographed the kids at summer camp. Amazing kids, amazing counselors, amazing organization.
Here are some photos….
When I asked the camper what was his favorite thing about camp, without a moment’s hesitation he replied “Cory” (his counselor).
Shooting for Flashes of Hope was a transformative experience.
The Cleveland based charity arranges for photographers to set up in juvenile cancer wards and photograph
patients and their children.
I was invited to shoot at NYU Medical Center.
It was a very emotional day. I had to compose myself three or four times. The kids, families, hospital staff
and Flashes of Hope coordinators are incredible. When I was thanked for participating I felt like I was the one
who should be giving them thanks.
It renews your perspective of what is really is a problem, the definition of love, enjoy every moment, and count your blessings.
