Gray
(2004-2009) A work in progress surrounding a dear friend of mine who's suffered from Crohn's disease throughout most of his life, creating a myriad of health problems for him, including cirrhosis of liver. I met Jefferey Gray in the fall of 2004 when I moved to New York. The images span from 2004 until present, and will continue as time permits. They were shot throughout our early encounters in NYC in 2004/2005 when we were both new to the city, during our time as roommates in 2005 and through the years prior to when Jeffrey Gray had to move away from NYC to be put on a waiting list for his transplant in May, 2007. On New Years, 2008 I missed a call coming in from Kansas at 3am letting me know that a perfect liver match had been found and that Gray was finally on his way to the hospital to go into surgery. The newest images are from a visit he made to NYC in May '08, post-surgery and in September '09 at a friends wedding in RI.
