Photographer captures his twin brother's Cerebral Palsy in amazing images

Makes my eyes rain...

Christoper Capozziello, a Connecticut-based freelance photographer, started taking pictures of Nick, his twin brother who has cerebral palsy, when they were 20. Now, 13 years later, Christopher wants to tell their story through a book, The Distance Between Us, which is being funded by a Kickstarter campaign.



"I am the brother who survives and has choices and he is the brother who suffers and has less.”



“Nick’s favorite picture is the one of him with this woman named Rachel, the two of them dancing in a dive bar in San Juan Capistrano.” “While visiting some friends we ended up at The Swallows Inn, where he was eyeing this woman all night. She was the prettiest woman in the bar. My friend’s sister approached her and asked if she’d mind dancing with Nick. At first she declined, but then for some reason, she obliged the request. At one point during their dance she tells him not to look at her feet. Afterward, he confessed to me with a grin as wide as ever, ‘I wasn’t looking at her feet!’”
