Angels in our midst - Mary Fisher

To make visible this 'invisible army of compassion', Mary Fisher set out to photograph caregivers of people: children, women, and men with HIV and AIDS. Fisher had to move in close: into the subdued hospital rooms of very sick, into laughter of friends, both healthy and infected, who worked together in food banks preparing meals for housebound patients with AIDS. Moving in close was often difficult. Fisher went on the road for four years to photograph and write the story behind the courage, dedication, devotion, and love of caregivers, the angels in our midst.
