Pink For Breast Cancer Awareness

We all wore pink t-shirts for breast caner awareness month and went out to try and get some fotos of us as a family. 

I had to turn the camera over and let other family members shoot a few times. I can be very picky about what is worthy to post and most of the other fotos just didn't make the cut. I have a lifetime of photo making experience. The others were only humoring me.

Here are a few that I like.

A Bra Named Indigo

A BRA NAMED INDIGO. 

Some of you may follow my blogging at The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bras. It began as a simple photo project for a class and a little bit of a protest and was a lot about ME and where I was in my life five or so years ago....but it was not about breast cancer. This little projectt grew into something else with a mind of it's own. And then.... I discovered a lump in my right breast and everything changed. 

I don't think I had a choice. I doubt the Sisterhood would have let me pretend life was normal and fine. The girls declared we would document my cancer experience. I would take my camera to every doctor's appointment and infusion and whatever else and I would take pictures. I would blog my experience. Yet, I needed a companion to help me... and Indigo the Bra was born. Indigo is like Jennifer the Traveling Bra. She craves BLING! The idea is for people to send me pins or charms or key-rings, etc.... instead of a get well card. The BLING! represents love and prayers and well wishes. I pin the BLING! to Ms. Indigo and she flaunts it in her medical related photo sessions. 

That is how it works. I love Indigo.
