Comments:

Series - Early in 2008 I came across the Down Syndome Association of Queensland (DSAQ) by accident while researching Down syndrome on the internet. In May 2008 we did a shoot to assist with the marketing of a music DVD produced by DSAQ. The images were taken during this shoot. I am entering the images in consultation with DSAQ and the full approval of the subjects and/or their guardians. My youngest brother, who lives in Germany, was born with Down syndrome.
