Maurice Turgeon has lived healthy with HIV for over 20
years. Photographing male nudes has been a great creative outlet. Keeping fit, remaining informed, and
giving back to the community has also helped him to live a balanced life. He
now facilitates a support group for gay men living with HIV: http://www.meetup.com/HIV-NYC-Support-Group-for-Gay-Men/
Photographing cemeteries has long been a source of
therapy for Maurice. The solitude
and beauty of these locations helps him find moments of peace from the challenges
of living with HIV and surviving as an artist in New York City. The rays of sun symbolize the new
treatment options that now have people living extended lives with a manageable
disease.
