“4,748 Self-Portraits and Counting: Jeff Harris”
It’s interesting to see any art form intertwined with real life experiences and struggles that we as humans learn to endure,over come or naturally adapt to. Jeff Harris documented his everyday life and his journey through out cancer & becoming paralyzed in one leg through the medium of photography. I applaud him for his courage to let strangers like us into his everyday life and most importantly show case how life is essentially supposed to be lived… “yolo” if you will (lol) I also enjoyed the role exchange between a regular person and a celebrity persona, it’s interesting to me. For some odd reason I’m always attracted to art that is engaged with cancer but it’s not meant to make me or others feel sorrow or sadness but more as a reminder that anything can happen and we as a human race believe that we are “untouchable” and that we can’t be affected by life altering experiences and to thank god & count your blessings. Being that my mother runs a breast cancer support group I see women in just about every stage of cancer & all of them seem to enjoy life more & it really keeps me going and makes it clear to me as to how minute my problems are. Enjoy the video viewers. -Duckz.
