- Bob Carey on "How I Became The Guy In The Pink Tutu" at TEDxMünchen 2015 (www.tedxmuenchen.de)
Bob Carey is a commercial photographer based New York City, and has operated a successful studio for over 20 years. Bob’s commercial clients, both impressive and varied, appreciate Bob's fine art approach, which fuels his distinctive and often conceptual imagery.
In 2002, as part of a new project exploring stereotypes and transformation, Bob began photographing himself in a pink tutu. When his wife, Linda, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, the project took on a different meaning. It became a powerful tool for self-therapy; expressing, vulnerability, isolation, and humor. Carey’s wife shared them with other patients, bringing laughter and levity into their chemotherapy treatments. This shared laughter became the inspiration for the couple to self-publish a book of the images, Ballerina, and begin raising funds for those living with breast cancer. This body of images, known as The Tutu Project, went viral in 2012 and has since been entertaining people around the world.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Well done, Bob. Much love to you and your wife and all the good you're doing to gain awareness for breast cancer.
Lovely and inspirational :)
Really liked the pictures! something about them feels so beautiful
This is gem
Real life Senor Pink ! What a man!
Thank you you told me my story...
why is the police being called for wearing a pink tutu to begin with?
That funny
Che merda!!!!
Let’s not pretend this is for any other reason than this guy has a crossdressing fetish and found a way to do it in front of people and put a philanthropic spin on it. A man putting on a tutu does nothing to raise awareness for cancer
First
NO!
