      Hi,
      Just wondering what's happening with this as I haven't received the book yet. Has it gone out and I've missed it?

      A worthy project, and glad to have backed it. Any word on the rewards? Have not heard anything since the project was funded.

      What a lovely project, and very pertinent to me, personally. I'm in the UK, and was diagnosed with Parkinson's a year ago at the age of 39. I'm doing my little bit to promote the project on my blog: http://bloggingwithparkinsons.wordpress.com/

      Brilliant project! But I'm wondering...is it ok to feel good about supporting it when you're already feeling like you're getting more than you're giving thanks to the awesome rewards? :)

      At first I was sure Brian had somehow linked the wrong video. "That's not Becky and, unless he's aged/shrunk since the summer, that's certainly not Allan..." This is a fantastic project, good luck to everyone involved.

      My dad passed away in 2009 from a 36 year fight with Parkinson's. I'm immensely proud of him and miss him a lot. I'm very proud to be a backer to this project!

      beautifully done, AA. Love the project, the incentives, most of all, the generous spirit in which you have done everything--best to you. Cat

      Sounds like a great project. My grandfather dies of Parkinson's about 17 years ago, so it's a cause that I have a personal interest in, and would love to see awareness heightened and money raised for it.

From the dark edges of the dream world to erotic scenes of modern mythology; from the surreal fantasy life of high fashion to the volatile currents of the underworld; from the chaotic noise of the 21st Century to the organic backdrop of history...Allan's photographs are evocative three-dimensional scenes in a two-dimensional medium. He speaks not just with his photography, but with an emotional sensibility that captures a world that is both whimsical and darkly beautiful. Allan's talent lies in his artistry, but his gift lies in what he sees, how he perceives what is before him and how he brings that to light...
