Cancer Survivor Portraits
Stan
Diagnosis: colon cancer
Stan is a pharmacist at Lahey Clinic who often dispenses drugs for cancer patients. With his diagnosis, he suddenly found himself on the other side of the counter. I photographed him in the hospital pharmacy, where he seemed right at home. (The room was so small that I had to smash myself against the wall and use an extreme wide-angle lens to take the photograph!) I love the twinkle in his eye, which belies the tough year that lay behind him.
