The Dancing Image

THANKS YOU ALL FOR YOUR GRACIOUS, GENEROUS SUPPORT! Cancer has prevented me from pursuing my joy and passion; dance photography. I miss seeing all of my dancers, dance and photography friends so very much. I pray every day that I will be able to return to doing what I love.

We could not have survived these past 2 months without your amazing assistance! Luckily, TheDancingImage.com is still up and running. Feel free to surf the website and order some photos. Every little bit helps these days! The GoFundMe page is also still active: https://www.gofundme.com/manage/sharen-bradford-needs-our-support

I've been hospitalized 4 times since January. Cancer and now kidney failure as well. I'm doing my best to get better and avoid dialysis. Another round of chemo and more surgery are in my near future.
Currently, I am undergoing lots of testing (PET, CT and a MRI) to determine where the cancer has spread and the damage to my kidneys. It's so dang expensive, even if you have insurance! My out of pocket and co-pays are through the roof! I also have home health care now.

It's tough to survive on Social Security benefits alone. Medical bills have caused a financial disaster since I had to stop doing dance photography.

Your generous gifts have given us some much needed assistance!
THANKS TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED LOVE AND SUPPORT!
Sending love and hugs to you all!

HAPPY WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY DAY. Switching it up today from just dance photos. These are SX70 photos from the 1980s using Time Zero Supercolor film. Haven't used my SX70 since Polaroid discontinued selling around 2008. Now that Polaroid is manufacturing the film, I can't wait to shoot with it again when film is back in stock!
