We have no defense for beauty and fragility. I left a 4 decade career as a nurse practitioner to heal using my camera and tell the stories of family caregivers and those with dementia. “Just See Me-Sacred Stories of Dementia” was published in 2018. It is filled with 13 stories of family caregivers along with portraits. The healing power of photography became clear during my work with this project. Families referred to the portraits as ‘priceless treasures’ even though they weren’t too excited about them at the start. Every time of our life is part of our legacy, and that was clear. The stories inspire, impact and influence in big ways. I would love to be more involved with WAM
