the julie project

photographer Darcy Padilla chronicled the poverty-stricken life of 19 year old Julie, a young mother with AIDS and history of physical and sexual abuse.

her project (click for link) will be on my mind for a long, long time. sit down with a box of tissues and prepare to be feel enthralled, angry, disgusted, sympathetic and heartbroken.warning: contains graphic images. don't let that stop you- this is truly a must see/read. Padilla's other work (click on her home page to view) is astounding as well.
