Hi all
It’s been a while since i’ve showed up on here!! I always love coming back around and finding new friends. Anyway!
Im popping in to see if there’s anyone here that lives in the DMV area? Maryland / Virginia / DC. I am looking to connect with local tx friends to create a series of embodiment photography for transplant & dialysis folks. Inviting you to be raw, human, messy, emotive.

I wish I lived closer, would have enjoyed being involved. Although you really can’t see my transplant scar. I really wish it were more defined. My feeding tube hole is still there as well stretch marks from severe asities.(looked 12 months pregnant for months and months). I also have a large scar from a wound that took a year to heal. I suppose my entire abdomen is a transplant road map. Great idea and good luck!
@fern22 Also not from that area but this sounds awesome and I am looking forward to seeing the result!
Hello,
I'm in the Richmond area. I had 9 surgeries thru my 2 years from start to finish of my liver/kidney saga. Including 5 in my thru my left quadricep for hip infection then # 6 total hip replacement. I look like a shark bite survivor.
