April 11, 2006 – Myself: Together Again, a printed booklet using artful black-and-white photographs to document the mastectomy and reconstruction surgery of a 32-year-old breast cancer survivor has been published by local breast cancer foundations.

Missy McLamb photographed all 16 black-and-white photographs printed in the book as well as consulted on the project.

For over a year, McLamb and Horowitz would work together to photographically document the reconstruction process. “It was nice to return to my roots of storytelling to affect change in my community,” McLamb said about the project.

The finished booklet is available through doctor’s offices or by contacting Myself: Together Again (http://myselftogetheragain.org). To read the full article in the Raleigh News and Observer, visit: http://www.newsobserver.com/150/story/427030.html.
