Thank you for all  your support. Each pledge gave me such encouragement that the vision for the book would be realized. Words really can't express my appreciation , so I'll let bringing  a beautiful  book into reality show my feeling.

And now I'm venturing into unknown territory, away from the private dusty studio to engaging  with people and learning about how a book gets put together..

One of my first big steps is finding and reconnecting with the 6 living women who were featured in the  exhibition, and  with the family members of the two who died.  I have found them all and we are planning for a round table discussion  on the 22nd of this month. The women will discuss  where they are now in their journey with cancer.  The edited text from these conversations will be on newly designed  pages by Sher Schachameyer, who is  also hard at work rescanning some  of the images.

I am  exploring printing in Korea or China where the prices are much less, which will allow for many more books  to be printed.

My goal is to have the finished books before Breast Cancer awareness month in October.

I'll keep you updated on the progress.
