“Keep running.”
As the one-year anniversary of the bombing at the Boston Marathon approaches, photographer Robert X. Fogarty, known for his message-on-skin portrait project called “Dear World,” asked marathon survivors, first responders and supporters to return to the finish line.
He captured their images and shared their messages of healing, hope and love for Boston with the world.
In a letter to the survivors, Fogarty writes:
“What happened that day was terror. Terror happens when love is absent.
Boston is a city of love stories now.
Thank you for sharing yours here. As you heal, know you inspire the rest of us to be better, still.
All photographs and stories are courtesy of Dear World.

“I’m Celeste Corcoran from Lowell, Massachusetts. My message is “Still Standing.” I wrote still standing because the bombers hurt me—they took my legs—but I can still stand on them. I just love the play on the message. Writing it on my naked legs, seeing those words and having the prosthetics next to me.
I’m still standing.”
