Survivor Portrait

Tuesday Oct. 23, 2007

Niantic - These are photos from my assignment this morning. The story was about 2-year-old Zander Petry. Zander is undergoing treatment for cancer. He recently had one of his kidneys removed. He was having a good day today, and was your average rambunctious two year old. He became curious with my camera. I let him look through it and play with the buttons. Pretty soon it was around his neck and not mine. I also forgot to take it off of the high-speed shutter drive setting. Zander took well over 200 frames before I got my camera back. I would have posted one but they were all of the outer wall of his house. His parents and doctors are hopeful that he will recover, though he has a long road of hospital visits ahead.
