Hello all, I have posted in these forums numerous times before, but I just received an epiphany for an art/photo project. I am a senior in college studying photography, and as a human I always wonder why I was created the way I was.....with scoliosis. Ever since joining this forum I have felt some sense of ease knowing that there are other people out there w/ the same or similar problems, as well as first timers or people who know really nothing about scoliosis. So, for my senior photo project next year, I was thinking ahead. I was thinking of combining my scoliosis experience w/ my art and making a book. I'd want to photograph people w/ scoliosis (those who are comfortable w/ it) and then have them write down their personal thoughts either about the photo and/or their experience in living w/ scoliosis. I would print the photos and then place the person's handwritten piece below it...or have them write directly on the photo. If people wanted to include x-rays, I could shrink them down somehow and re-print them. I would put all of this into a handmade book I would create (because I also know how to make paper =) I feel that this project would be meaningful to me as well as inform those who know nothing about the deformity. I feel that those who participated would also receive some sort of fulfillment. Let me know what everyone thinks! I'd have to find people in my area to photograph (SF Bay Area, CA) but we will see. I'm also thinking of doing my own personal project involving my x-rays and photographs. Thanks for reading and if anyone has any suggestions or input that'd be great! Have a beautiful day!!!
