How people help loved ones with the help of photos
New York-based photographer Bob Carey first took his beautiful and bizarre pictures a few years ago after his wife Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer. According to him, he was driven by the desire to help her cope with the test: "When Linda goes to treatment, she will take the photos on her phone with her - and she will look at them with other women and laugh."
