Turning my tremor into something useful was an incredibly empowering game changer - boosting my confidence, mood and energy. It freed me up
When life hands you tremors, make art. That's exactly what fine art photographer Alan Babbitt did after his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2003. Initially grappling with a shaky hand—an unwelcome guest for any photographer—Alan had a lightbulb moment. Instead of fighting the tremor, he embraced it, transforming his challenge into a unique artistic technique he calls 'Un-Still Photography: The Art of Motion Within a Still'. This innovative approach didn't just change his art; it changed his life.
In this episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief', Alan shares how turning his tremor into an asset boosted his confidence, mood, and energy. He describes the joy and freedom he rediscovered in photography, all thanks to the very condition that threatened to take it away. Alan’s story is a testament to the power of creativity in overcoming adversity and finding new purpose. Listeners will be inspired by Alan’s resilience and ingenuity.
His journey offers a fresh perspective on how to cope with Parkinson's symptoms and turn them into something beautiful. Whether you're living with Parkinson's, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for a dose of inspiration, Alan's story is a powerful reminder that even the most daunting challenges can lead to unexpected gifts. Tune in to hear more about Alan’s 'Un-Still Photography' and how he's turned a pesky tremor into a source of joy and artistic expression.
