SALT student seaks subject

To whom it may concern:      I am a photography student at the SALT Institute for Documentary studies in Portland, Maine.  I am very interested in pursuing a subject in Maine who may be going through the Bariatric surgery process, either gastric bypass, LAP banding or its equivalent.  Coming from a family and background where obesity has been a constant struggle, I am increasingly interested in this topic.  I would like to follow someone through the entire process, from pre through post/recovery.     Our semester started about a month ago, and we have a couple of months to follow our subjects.  Ideally a subject would be going into surgery within the next few weeks, so that I might be able to document the lengthy process from start to finish.     If you are interested in helping a student in need with an educational and interesting project, please contact me immediatly.  I can travel the state, and have a very flexible schedule.  I would like to meet you face to face as soon as possible.  Thank you so much for your time.

wow, that is a big task for overweight girls to pose for a picture,  good luck

I think this is a great oppurtunity to document an amazing change in someone's life.  I hope only positive, respectful things come from this. Kirk Torregrossa Photography Student, SALT institute for Documentary Studies [email protected]
