\"CT<\/p>\n

You’ve got cancer. You’ve got several bags of toxic chemicals connected to your body<\/strong>, hoping the chemo kills the tumors. Or, you’re lying beneath a huge X-ray machine, whose beams are burning the cancer out of you. In the middle of this a photographer approaches and asks if he can take your picture.<\/p>\n

Why not? you think, so you say yes. He does, and a few weeks later there you are in a local magazine<\/strong> illustrating a story about the hospital<\/a> where you’re being treated.<\/p>\n

This is much of what I do — enter other people’s lives just long enough to tell a story <\/strong>(or, more accurately, a small moment of a story). I’m always surprised and forever in debt to those who grant me entrance, even when their\u00a0 lives might not be going particularly well in one way or another.<\/p>\n

The inside-out view of CT scan machine<\/strong> above and the strip of photos below were part of a story <\/a>in Marin Magazine about the Marin Cancer Institute<\/a> and its director, Dr. Francine Halberg, who is shown below talking with colleagues.<\/p>\n
