lukas

Lukas Wiliker is 5 years old and fighting neuroblastoma cancer, the most common childhood cancer. He doesn’t quite know how serious it is, he just knows he’s sick and goes to treatments for whatever is infecting him. Doctor’s say he has two years to live, at most. His mother, Emily Knight, is in her 20′s and recently moved back in with her mother after quitting her job to take care of Lukas. A reporter suggested I photograph Lukas and Emily when they come into the office for an interview. I decided catching them at home the day before the interview would be better. It was such short notice, I only had an hour with them. Hopefully I’ll get to revisit them soon.

Video games.

Stomach ache.
