For ds2009:
I chose the theme of diversity in cultures, races and religions.
Surprisingly there are still a number of myths to be dispelled concerning Down's syndrome and even now some people ask the question: ‘Does Down’s syndrome exist in every race’?
I hope that my photos clearly show that cultural backgrounds, family values,
aspirations and environmental influences all help to shape the individuality of a person with Down’s syndrome, in the same way that it would for anyone else.
These images and more will be produced in a desktop diary for 2009, which will be available for purchase from the UK Down's Syndrome Association website, from mid-late September.
