Charlee Brodsky I Thought I Could Fly
I Thought I Could Fly…Portraits of Anguish, Compulsion, and Despair takes the audience into the darkened lives of those who live with mental illness. Through a compilation of compelling first hand accounts by individuals who have a diagnosis or by family members, text and photographs combine to tell riveting stories of a broad spectrum of behavioral disorders.
Peter D. Kramer, renown author of Listening to Prozac and Freud: Inventor of the Modern Mind writes, “Evocative images, eloquent testimony—a frank and often inspiring exploration of the experience of mental illness.” Charlee Brodsky, editor and photographer of the volume, is a fine art, documentary photographer and a professor of photography at Carnegie Mellon University. She has won numerous awards, including an Emmy for her work on Stephanie, the story of her friend’s life with breast cancer.
