Description

This is a collection of photographs taken during my time at home in Montreal and during my travels. Included are also some prints of some of my art. Most of the prints, art, words are from after I was diagnosed with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Working on this book has been extremely therapeutic as I struggle with the progression of my disease.

Author Bio

My name is Caroline Ostiguy and I am an artist and photographer residing in Montreal. I've carried a camera around my neck and played with paints for most of my life. Since I was eleven and I inherited my fathers very old Konica 35mm SLR; to 30 years later with my top of the line Sony Alpha a7rII mirrorless ILC.

Photography has taught me to carry weight, to look up, to take a moment, to appreciate my surroundings, to find the dimmest of lights, the brightest of colors, and the many shades and colors from day to night. Focusing on the lines between and the miles apart land and sky, on the horizons, has helped me define my path, find my voice, and turn loss (-) into something of value (+).
