Diane began her photographic career when she won a camera in a competition. Her talk is a very personal illustration of her own journey, told through a large collection of photographs.<\/p>\n<p>Each picture is used to illustrate a particular aspect of the journey, and it was very interesting to see the power of this when looking around the room at the faces of our friends. Certain photos struck a chord with different individuals in a way that words alone cannot. It was a powerful presentation, and sparked quite a long discussion within the group afterwards. Our thanks to Diane for giving up her time to share this with us all.<\/p>\n<p>Diane has also penned a poem, published on this site titled: &#8220;YOU&#8221; which can be accessed via the site menu.<\/p>\n<p>There is an earlier post including a link for those wishing to know a little more about Diane and her work in this field.<\/p>\n<div style=''><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/headcases2\" class=\"twitter-follow-button\" data-show-count=\"true\" data-button=\"blue\" data-text-color=\"#800080\" data-link-color=\"#800080\" data-lang=\"en\">Follow @headcases2<\/a>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><a href=\"http:\/\/cmsvoteup.com\/category\/wordpress-plugins\/\" title=\"Get Twitter Follow Button WordPress Plugin\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cmsvoteup.com\/images\/power_by_2x2.gif\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 18 of us were pleased to welcome back Diane Leopard who gave us a photographic presentation and talk about the emotional impacts of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
