Flashes of Hope is a national non Profit organization that changes the way children with cancer sees themselves through the gift of Photography and raise money for pediatric cancer research. My fellow Photographer Scott Farence of ASMP Phoenix volunteer to help me and took this wonderful pictures behind the scene. What is important and what is not is what comes to mind. We are suppose to give those kids hope and myself I just hope I could have their courage, we are suppose to smile to other to make ourself more agreeable, they smile because they love life. To Alfredo I told him he could fly in his Batman suit and he did smile with pride, to Lakisha an earring caught up in the hair of her mother brought her a big laugh – and bubbles floating in the air made Luis in admiration and so amused that I had to wonder why I could not be as happy as he was with my few sophisticated modern fancy toys. Cancer might have them but they do have HOPE and in some few shots with my camera I saw through the lens that this terrible sickness cannot bit the inner being of those child and that in fact their spirit was even brighter than my FLASHES.
