Blowing in the Wind - Pear Blossom Tree, London
The rainbow flare of this picture is made by the sun shining through the tiny lens hole – literally a hole because the camera has no lens - and creating a spectrum of light. I selected this photograph because of the movement it captures, drawing upon interviews with patients treated with TNF-α-blocking therapy. After this treatment some patients described the result in terms of being able to move their limbs ‘like branches of a tree…trees that could now blow in the wind’. Without this medication, they said that their limbs feel as like parts of immobile statues.
