Massachusetts Press) by photographer/writer,
Roslyn Banish.
Focus on Living combines compelling photographs and first-person accounts to
document the feelings and experiences of a wide range of Americans carrying
the HIV virus. Men and women speak candidly about their lives, their
relationships, and how they have come to terms with the presence of this
chronic and potentially deadly disease.

" ... Banish's unadorned portraits, often shot at her subjects' homes, are
subtle and dignified, and the narratives have a lucid strength, even in
despair. . further breaking the silence and statistics that surround people
living with HIV and AIDS. " - from Publishers Weekly
"The "Focus on Living" exhibit was very well received by the student body.
It was a very powerful and personable way to reach young people regarding
AIDS and its impact on everyday human beings without actually lecturing
them. This exhibit enabled the student to be the seeker of knowledge, rather
than a passive recipient of it." - University of Minnesota, Student Health.
