All of them, survivors
Years after losing his first wife to breast cancer, David Fox documents the scars and the spirit of those touched by the disease.
David Fox knows a few things about survival. After losing his wife to breast cancer when she was 34, Fox was left with a 1-year-old daughter, a 4-year-old son, and a fledgling photography business on the verge of going under. Grief was a constant companion, but the demands of caring for his children and tending to his livelihood kept Fox anchored.

David Fox has spent a lot of time with survivors.
Some came, smiling and without shame, to bare the scars left by breast cancer. Others brought the mothers and daughters who sustained them through the fight. And others came alone, offering themselves as proud proof of their disease.
