Lunch Break: Annie Wells - From An Arm's Length
Annie Wells - From An Arm's Length:
L.A. Times photographer Annie Wells never saw herself as an artist-just a person with a camera and a need to understand. Yet her photographs tell such powerful stories that in 1997, she was awarded a Pulitzer Prize... In 2002, Annie began work on a story she never thought about telling-her own. She was diagnosed with breast cancer-and found to have the BRCA2 gene that killed her mother and would eventually kill her sister. She bought a Nikon Coolpix digital camera because it could be held at arm's length and swiveled so she could photograph herself...
read the rest and watch the film when it is completed. I know someone involved and very much want this film seen...spread the word.
