In 2008, just five months after marrying Jennifer, the girl of his dreams, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After Jennifer’s cancer metastasized in 2010, Angelo found that the most effective way to communicate and share their daily challenges was with his camera. The resulting body of work was first exhibited in Cleveland and has since been shown in New York City, Brooklyn, Rome, Italy, and Washington DC.

Angelo’s blog about Jennifer and his experience with breast cancer has been honored as a top caregiving site by Healthline.com, Everydayhealth.com, and Caring.com.
