Downs Syndrome by Richard Bailey

This couple had known each other for twenty years and had been 'trying' to get married for many years. Eventually their voice was heard and they were married a couple of years ago. They now live, semi-independently, in their own flat. Both work part-time and they are clearly very much in love. Fantastic....can you imagine this happening a decade ago?

This is my beautiful daughter Billie-Jo, in her classroom when she was seven years old. She is now in year six at her Central London school.

She is now ten years old and like any ten year old she can be funny, happy, sad, moody, stroppy, but most of all she is absolutely WONDERFUL!

shifting perspectives......a positive focus on down's syndrome by michael marsh

Now on display at the Oxo tower in London's south bank, 'Shifting perspectives' is available to view until 31st March 2013....Part of the Employment series by Richard Bailey Shifting Perspectives is an exhibition that explores the photographic representation of people with Down’s syndrome, It began in 2003 when a small group of photographers, who all had children with Down’s syndrome, came together to create an exhibition for Down’s Syndrome Awareness Week, Richard said "People all over the world are now seeing our images and my hope is that the public will be able to see that people with Down’s syndrome have dreams, aspirations, wants, needs, likes and dislikes, just like anyone else and through these images they will see an individual, rather than just a person with Down’s syndrome."......I photographed this image on my last trip to London, I was drawn in first of all by the bikes, then the lines and skyward to the construction crane, it was not until I sat at my computer to view my London images that I saw that the real power of the image was in the message at the bottom of my photo....the message on the boards reading "shifting perspectives"......google it on the net, I did and it shows the power of the image.....go see it tomorrow, last day.

Shifting perspectives 365 by Richard Bailey by Andreas-photography

Please follow the safe link and have a look

top right on this picture is Tilly my daughter who took part in shifting perspectives in 2005

There are one to two children, on average, born with Down Syndrome everyday in England alone.

The beautiful faces that you see before you are part of a project where I took portraits of 365 children with Down's syndrome.

One for everyday of the year, to represent the above statistic, but also to show how different from one another these children actually are. Whether we like it or not there is a stereotype of Down's syndrome, which is conjured up in our minds as soon as these words are mentioned. ‘Our lot’, the faces that you see before you, will not conform to this stereotype. These children have not been put into a corner and forgotten about. From Richard Baileys site
