| VIEW LARGER IMAGE ON FLICKR Now, our second FANTASY FAIRE 2014 post of the day. Welcome to BLACKWATER GLENN DESCRIPTION: Rotting buildings sink into the swampy undergrowth as Nature reclaims this ground from Man. Gorgeous flowers and mysterious plants emerge sporadically throughout the swamp and pathways of open water lead to the centerpiece, a giant blossoming tree. Dark and murky, Blackwater Glenn has not been completely abandoned. In it you will find the light of hope. Let it lead you to rebirth.

"On September 1, 2007, I married the girl of my dreams. Five months later Jennifer was
diagnosed with breast cancer. Over the next four years we faced constant change as
Jennifer's illness grew more serious. During this time, Jennifer allowed me to photograph
our day-to-day life. Our hope was that these photographs would offer people a more realistic view of life with cancer. Since Jennifer passed in 2011 these photographs—our love story—
have been vital to my accepting Jennifer's death, embracing my own mortality, and finding
peace within myself."
Story continues after every picture.

Intimate, honest, and moving, Angelo's photographs offer viewers a look inside the day-to-day life of a young couple facing breast cancer together. More than a story about loss, this is a story about love and life." |

| VIEW LARGER IMAGE ON FLICKR "Since his late wife Jennifer passed in 2011, Angelo has maintained a blog chronicling life before, during, and after his experience as a caregiver and now, as a 39-year-old widower. Much like his photographs, Angelo's posts are open and raw. His hope is to encourage conversation about topics that are often kept at arm's length and provide a more accurate representation of both life with breast cancer and also the challenges of finding oneself after surviving a traumatic experience." |
