hopefully i'll be able to reload the pictures of the series soon...
the picture "pain" has been taken from my series "living with aids" which is definitly my most personal piece of photographical work.
the series is about a man who was infected by the HIVirus. i went along with him for four years, documenting the last years of his life, showing what HIV and AIDS made to a man (who became a close friend of mine), his family, his friends and his social environment.
it's the story about a loving father of two children but also the story of a multi addicted junkie. it might be a story about each of us, too...
Your series made me cry, at the beginning he looks so full of life, and hope, and by the end, the looks so worn out, and as you have titled this, helpless. Im so sorry you lost a close friend, through this diease, and all i can do is hope, that this will educate someone, and hopefully stop them getting HIV.

It is really sad that some people only understand how harmfull for them drugs or aids are, when they see such series...but I think this is almost the only way to bring them to consciousness.
great work

Hi,
hab mir grade deine Fotostrecke komplett angesehen. Sehr trauriges Zeitdokument und dir gebührt mein Respekt die ganze Zeit so engagiert und nah dabei geblieben zu sein. Ich kann mir vorstellen wie hart das zum Teil gewesen sein muss und wieviel tragische Dinge während dieser Zeit passiert sind, die man nur zwischen den Fotos erahnen kann. Schön und traurig zugleich sind zudem die Aufnahmen, die Positives Vermitteln und das Schöne am Leben zeigen, wie die Bilder mit den Kindern oder mit alltäglichen Szenen -gemeinsam Essen, Spielen, Lachen. Trotzdem ging mir die Durchsicht der Fotos doch etwas an die Nieren. Hut ab!!!
P.S.: Habe mir auch deine anderen Bilder angesehen, die ebenfalls sehr gut sind, wenn ich mir dieses Urteil als Laie erlauben darf.

This is really intense... I looked at the whole series at your website and I don't really know what to say except that you captured this man's last years of life in a really honest way. Respect.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
