NEW ORLEANS – If the eyes of the nurses photographed for Robert Fogarty's latest project aren't expressive enough, there are always the words — emblazoned on forearms or faces or chests.
Fogarty, for those unfamiliar with his previous similar projects — including portraits of people affected by the Boston Marathon bombing and the Pulse Nightclub massacre — is the creator of Dear World.
That’s the name for both his special event business, at dearworld.com, which includes photo sessions incorporating its signature words-on-skin style; and a nonprofit, at dearworld.org, where “we tell the stories of our time.” Some of the portraits shot by photographer Daymon Gardner for the new “Dear Nurses” project, evoke hope and resilient spirits.
