Recording Hope, Images from “Flashes of Hope” Photographers

This exhibition features the work of five local photographers who volunteer their time and talent to the Flashes of Hope program by photographing children who are battling cancer and related illnesses. These photographs are recording the lives of young people during the most difficult time of their life. They provide a sense of hope, worth, and a record of their personal battle. These works are rarely seen publicly and this exhibition honors the caring vision of the artist.

When photographers click the shutter on their camera, they are recording a time and place, and, sometimes, they are recording an emotion and a personality. When thinking about World Record, one usually associates that phrase with athletes and heros. These children are the true hero’s and worthy of their own “world record” for their talents and bravery in dealing with these life challenges.
