I came across this story today,which I thought would strike a chord. The photo could have been of any of us and has maybe helped for the same, or different, reasons.

How photography helps Essex carer cope with wife’s cancer

A selection of Alan Bruce's wildlife images has gone on display at an Essex nature reserve.

www.bbc.co.uk

"Alan Bruce from Witham, Essex, gave up work five years ago to care for his wife Denise, who has stage four breast cancer.After being encouraged to take up photography by a cancer charity, Alan's photos have been put on display at the Fingringhoe Wick Nature Discovery Park near Colchester"

"Photography has not made the difficult things disappear, but it has given me somewhere positive to put my mind," Alan said.

I found his photos at the exhibition on Face Book. I'm not a FB member but was able to view them

Yup.

During years of difficulty, depression and stress photography was an escape for me and when I couldn't get out researching and buying and trying out cheap film era lenses was another.

I've just noticed that the link to "Alan in his own words' wasn't live. I've just put that right. I don't know why that happens sometimes but it does. I just need to check the post more closely after posting.
