| Description: |
These photographs present a picture of 75 people with the AIDS virus. The aim of the book is to show how these individuals cope with the disease in life-affirming ways and with positive outlooks. The subjects of the photographs are varied - black, white, male, female, young and old. |
| Synopsis: |
This moving and beautiful book offers unprecedented insight into the astounding strength of the human spirit when confronted with illness, pain, loss, and death. Features 75 black-and-white photographs.Carolyn Jones's vivid and life-affirming portraits capture people from all backgrounds? children and grandmothers, men and women of all races? living with HIV and AIDS.It is estimated that over one million people in the United States would test positive for the Human Immune Virus, and many others are already suffering from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. A common-and harmful-misconception holds that AIDS is an instant death sentence but, in fact, testing positive for HIV does not mean immediate illness. Carolyn Jones has collaborated with George DeSipio, Jr., and Michael Liberatore (co-founders of the project), and the seventy-three people who volunteered to pose for these photographs in an inspiring effort to change the way we think about AIDS. Jones's compelling portraits have the power to profoundly alter perceptions about this disease, and about the way we all live and die. AIDS poses challenging questions that we must each grapple with, whether healthy or not. These captivating pictures illustrate the self-confidence and wisdom of ordinary people coping with an extraordinary fate, facing their mortality, questioning their priorities, and living life to the fullest. Their energy, courage, and dignity in the face of such adversity offer a vital lesson in how to embrace life, day by day. Their faces and their stories are proof that AIDS doesn't look like anyone? it looks like, and ultimately is, all of us.Design Industries Foundation for AIDS (DIFFA) is the sole recipient of the royalties from the sale of Living Proof.
