The Sacramento Bee
April 21, 2007



The Sacramento Bee is a collection of photographs of the last days of Derek Madsen. Afflicted by neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer, the images tell the story of Derek and his mother Cyndie. Poignant and moving, it subtly portrays the frustrations and the futility, as they fight against the inevitability of their predicament. It nearly drove me to tears.
(The Sacramento Bee recently won the Pulitzer for Feature Photography.)
