The Man With No Arms

Published 30 June 2008, Posted in Northland

In this absorbing book Glenn Busch captures with compelling authenticity the intimate stories of nine people who live daily with the reality of a disability.

They speak candidly of growing up, the importance of work, family, relationships, parenthood, of wanting to be treated like everyone else in a world that still chooses to see them as different.

Hanne Johnsen’s images quietly capture many personal moments and show the mutual rapport she has with the people she met.

Glenn Busch has spent 40 years using a camera – and later a tape recorder – to gather the stories of people he meets along the way. He is also director of the “A Place In Time” documentary project and the author of “Working Men”, “You Are My Darling Zita” and “My Place”.
