Like many projects, this one started small. In 2010, Christine Rucker was asked to photograph some of the residents of Group Homes of Forsyth, for a project called "Story Of My Life." When it was finished, Christine, Michelle Johnson and Phoebe Zerwick, who frequently collaborate on web documentary and narrative projects, realized there was a larger story to be told. 



We hope that the six pieces in this series present a more complete picture of ability and disability, and illuminate, in the words of Henri Nouwen, something about what it means to be human.
