Bill Aron is a photographer whose photos have been exhibited in major museums and galleries throughout the United States and Israel, including the Museum of Modern Art, the International Centre for Photography and several other galleries worldwide. Aron lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons, where he is most likely the only photographer with a PhD in sociology.

His most recent Book, “New Beginnings: The Triumphs of 120 Cancer Survivors,” focuses on survivors who have not let their diagnosis prevent them from living their lives to the fullest; in many cases, the diagnosis has served as motivation to better their lives. The book invokes strength, resilience and a positive outlook for anyone beginning their cancer recovery journey. Aron himself said he wanted to create a book that encouraged even the most cynical individual.

The book is worth a look; there is a story on just about every page of courage and overcoming one of life’s most difficult curve balls. You’ll enjoy the stories and will probably want to share them with your friends.
