Story

At age 44, while returning from 2008 brain injury symposium at Montclair State University, I bought a Cannon Powershot, my first camera, during Port Authority layover.

I received traumatic brain injury, or tbi, from a ‘03 pickup v bicycle accident. Soon after, my physician explained about my heightened interest in wall art,

“Frequently, in literature and film, the tbi has memory problems and these defeat successful plot and character development. But within the four sides of the frame lies the whole story.”

The in-camera and after-shudder software has emancipated classic tbi expressive and receptive deficits. Weeks into my second semester at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, MI, I captured for print. Within the next 12 months I would eight times and recognized scholastically, nonprofessionally and professionally in last year’s IPA competition.

Proaction compensatory strategies central to maximizing activities of daily living with tbi, now bedrocks prosecuting detailed landscape and wildlife photography.

www.tbiphoto.com focuses on the possibilities, achievement and beauty nestled in the precious tomorrows when surviving brain injury. My site is, in particular, for those surviving tbi but declining medical attention to date per fear of social stigma surrounding an injured brain, trending today.

tbiphoto.com shows it is indeed an exciting time to survive brain injury. That life changes with tbi -it doesn’t end.
