VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY
Gina Campbell
EDITORIAL
Founded in 2012, PhotoAbility wants to
continue to build a library of high quality
images and educate and inspire the ad-
vertising and design community to use,
create and communicate with Inclusive
imagery.
What difference is there between Photo-
ability and other stock photography web-
sites?
We pay more commission to our photo contrib-
utors; we also pay our models a percentage as
well. We act as a Model casting vehicle; we are
exclusively specialized in Inclusive imagery.
PhotoAbility is based in Melbourne Australia with
an office in Fort Lauderdale Florida.
PhotoAbility offers creative, editorial and commer-
cial stock images, both Rights Managed and Roy-
alty free, as well as Illustration and videos.
Our customers are advertising agencies, direct
marketing and graphic design agencies, corpora-
tions, publishers and media companies, small to
medium- sized businesses, as well as consumers.
Many agencies and businesses around the world
do not have the time or resources to take their
own quality photographs for their media and ad-
vertising activities, whether a local press release,
publication or massive advertising campaign. That
is where a Stock Image Library and your photos
come into play. A photo library has a large selec-
tion of images to cater for a variety of situations
and needs and avoids the expense and time of
custom photo shoots.
Increasing the positive imagery of persons with
disabilities and who use mobility devices such as
wheelchairs, canes, walkers, guide dogs etc., will
not only encourage further inclusion by increas-
ing awareness that people with a disability want to
participate and should be equally accommodat-
ed, but will help to eliminate the fear and negative
stereotyping that so often permeates all levels of
society.
Once people with disabilities we are represented
by a true and complete reality of their lives; going
on dates, enjoying activities and recreational fa-
cilities with their families, on the job, on vacation,
participating in sports, going shopping, enjoying a
glass of wine, a good restaurant, and all the good
things life has to offer, it will be understood and
accepted that these people should be provided
accommodations and consideration that recog-
nizes how valuable their contribution really is to all
these industries.

How many members are currently regis-
tered with Photoability and how many of
these are active contributors?
We have over 197 contributors.
PhotoAbility now has over 2400 RF and RM imag-
es for sale.
How many images have Photoability sold
since you began operation?
On average how many images are sold per
month? Not enough J. We have a marketing plan
to change that in the next year.
Photographers can earn up to 45% on imag-
es priced from $20 for royalty free to $2500 for
a Rights managed image used in a multi-national
campaign. The cost of an image is based on a
pricing calculator.
Our vision for PhotoAbility is to be a valuable
go-to source for Inclusive imagery worldwide, to
provide recognition for our models that lead to
revenue and increased opportunities. Our image
gallery, intends to increase awareness of the value
in maintaining and making structural and attitudi-
nal changes, it will encourage and sustain the par-
ticipation of those with differing abilities around
the world

PHOTOABILITY.NET
PhotoAbility.net represents one billion persons
with disabilities spending billions in travel and
lifestyle dollars in economies all over the world.
Yet, we are rarely seen or acknowledged in ad-
vertising and editorial images. Why is a small,
yet powerful and growing segment of society
not being seen or represented as customers?
Increasing the positive imagery of persons with
disabilities and who use mobility devices such
as wheelchairs, canes, walkers, guide dogs
etc., will not only encourage further inclusion
by increasing awareness that we want to par-
ticipate and should be equally accommodated,
but will help to eliminate the fear and negative
stereotyping that so often permeates all levels
of society.
We feel that once we are represented by a
true and complete reality of our lives; going on
dates, enjoying activities and recreational facil-
ities with our families, on the job, on vacation,
participating in sports, going shopping, enjoy-
ing a glass of wine, a good restaurant, and all
the good things life has to offer, it will be un-
derstood and accepted that we should be pro-
vided accommodations and consideration that
recognizes how valuable our contribution really
is to all these industries.
We, through our image gallery, hope that by in-
creasing awareness of the value in maintaining
and making structural and attitudinal changes,
it will encourage and sustain the participation of
those with differing abilities around the world.

SPORTS & DISABILITYIN ADVERTISING
Whether it is a marathon, water or snow skiing, horse-
back riding, tennis, kayaking, WCMX, off-roading,
mountain climbing, etc., there is increased participa-
tion in adaptive sports and recreation, and this is being
captured by quality photographers who are seeking an
outlet and a market for this type of imagery.
These types of images are being represented more and
more in society as sport and recreation has become a
well-funded and supported agenda within the disability
sector.
The call for this is even a part of the Convention of the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD): “Participa-
tion in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport.”
Blue Skate Park Christiaan Otter Bailey
Then there are nonprofit groups, like Achilles Inter-
national and The Challenged Athletes Foundation,
whose purpose is to provide access and opportunity
in communities, not only in the US, but throughout
the world. Chris Holcomb, a C 6-7 fully independent
user of a manual wheelchair and wheelchair athlete,
works for SE Region of Achilles. Chris also serves as
an example of “inspiration and hope,” traveling with
fellow disabled ambassadors to places like Columbia
and Poland. He is sponsored by grants and hosted
by US Embassies to visit hospitals and disabled per-
sons groups providing wheelchairs, equipment, and
role models for the benefits that access, equality and
fitness can provide.
Adaptive cross country cycleThe Challenged Athletes
Foundation encourages participation by giving away
grants to individuals so they can do everything from
buying a handcycle, taking horse riding and judo les-
sons, to purchasing adaptive equipment of all kinds
to enable participation in sports. It is the mission of
the Challenged Athletes Foundation to “provide op-
portunities and support to people with physical dis-
abilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through
physical fitness and competitive athletics”. The Chal-
lenged Athletes Foundation believes that involvement
in sports at any level “increases self-esteem, encour-
ages independence and enhances quality of life“.
Normalizing disability via greater inclusion and repe-
tition in advertising may be the answer to the desire
of those who want to be seen as equal but different,
accomplished and capable athletes and citizens.
According to the Society for Disability Studies re
The market for disability images is immature but grow-
ing and there are too few market leaders outside the
advocacy/disability product/service providers’ area
using images of people with a disability in a consist-
ent manner.
Adaptive canoeing Candace Cable, a gold medal
winning Paralympian and blogger for the Christopher
Reeves Foundation as well as an advocate and edu-
cator for disability issues eloquently stated:
“There is an underlying feeling of subconscious ex-
clusion toward people with disabilities which is per-
vasive in our society. My feeling is the subconscious
exclusion is, in part, due to outdated images of people
with disabilities. Sports have the ability to cross
boundaries and update those images”.
PhotoAbility.net, via its online stock image library,
offers a wide range of sports related imagery for
purchase. PhotoAbility, as a new company born
from the entrepreneurial spirit, appreciates the
assistance and support it was given by others
in our community and strongly believes in giving
back and supporting the success of others with
disabilities.
Young boy W Forrester
The more individuals who have access to equip-
ment that allows them to get out and active in
recreational and sports activities, either leisure-
ly or competitively, the more positive health and
self-esteem and social interaction there is…all
with positive implications to society. The ques-
tion that PhotoAbility.net seeks to answer is: why
aren’t more mainstream advertisers taking ad-
vantage of the popularity of this theme and what
needs to happen to see a real increase in the use
of imagery of persons with disabilities?.
PhotoAbility was established in March 2012 by
Deborah Davis and Bill Forrester with the goal
of providing high quality, unique, non-medically
oriented imagery of persons with disabilities for
purchase by the advertising, marketing and me-
dia sectors. The Commercial Stock Image Library
specializes in positive and “Inclusive” images of
people with a disability in leisure, lifestyle and
travel settings.
The 2000+ inclusive images depicted in the Pho-
toAbility gallery are designed to impact attitudinal
bias, change perception and provide motivation
to eliminate and reduce social, structural and pro-
fessional barriers. A wave of change reflected in
popular media and advertising can make an im-
pact on laws and attitudes around the globe, and
on how many with differing abilities view them-
selves.

In partnership with Rachelle Friedman & PhotoAbility.net
To benefit Funding and Research for SCI and its related Issues
and to Promote the Inclusion of Individuals with Disabilities in Media and Advertising
A PARALYZED LIFEPHOTOSHOOT PROJECT
The creative concept is to demonstrate through
images the issues that are affecting those indi-
viduals with paralyzing disabilities. Rachelle and
many others like her who experience a traumat-
ic injury quickly realize the disability is often not
the biggest challenge they must overcome.
The photos in this gallery conceptualize these
hardships by illustrating a photo juxtaposition
showing a positive and negative reality. What
should be and what currently is and how they
look and feel
This developing gallery will showcase the following core is-
sues
• Lack of needed Medical/Healthcare funding for medical sup-
plies and equipment such as lightweight custom wheelchairs:
• Lack of access to specialized healthcare providers, Medic-
aid/Medicare cuts, and facilities that are not accessible:
• Structural accessibility and Inclusive design:
• Employment
• Lack of Handicapped parking and Enforcement:
• Romantic Isolation and loneliness due to misconceptions
and bias as to sexuality and partnership potential:
• Need for Funding for SCI Research/Cure/Pain Management:
• Housing/Nursing Homes:
Images will be added to the Project Gallery as completed. If
you are interested in being a model or photographer for this
project, please contact:

TESTIMONIALS
I must say for what PhotoAbility has done and is heading is quite an inspiration for those in-
dividuals that have disabilities. It has all ways been the intention in good-faith when someone
was asked that has a disability to be interviewed or even photographed for “someone’s” gain/
project; e.g. reporters, columnist, companies, etc and in most cases the individual would not
get paid and would be made to feel if it was a “favor” that was being done, by getting that
individuals story/pictures/etc. Here at PhotoAbility an individual is presented with an oppor-
tunity to not only have fun and make a few dollars but to be involved in a project that can
promote; life style, (or lack of) vigor for the zest of living life and not just merely being alive. In
comparison with other similar website, they pale in comparison in were PhotoAbility is head-
ing and evolving. This is not a website that is promoting disabled individuals that would be
auditioning for a horror movie or even your “stereotypical” clinical setting, Kudos to PhotoA-
bility for being part of the “New-Breath” of the disabled community.
“I’m so proud to be affiliated with PhotoAbility as
a model, and I want its mission to both thrive
and succeed. It’s so very important in our ev-
er-changing world to be a motivated agent of
change. Although there are still many struggles,
it’s people like Deborah Davis who make this a
golden age for living with a disability. It’s only a
matter of time before the rest of the world will be-
gin to take notice & see the value in PhotoAbility,
too!”
“This is a fantastic idea. A sector of the
population that is becoming increasingly
more important to market to and is often
overlooked. Having this type of imagery
opens the door to new marketing oppor-
tunities for marketers and ultimately, new
sources of revenue.”.
“As a photographer with a disability, and as a marketing/PR person who is constantly needing
photography, I know all to well how rare it is to find quality photos related to disabilities.A site
that specializes will be a valuable resource.

“People with disabilities are productive,active members of society who travel, embrace life and love adventure. I am ecstatic to
finally to see a company accurately depict this dynamic spirit that is inside each one of us. I hope that PhotoAbility is a renowned
success and these photos will become the norm in mainstream advertising and media.”

ing is fantastic. We have a number of images you would love to
use”
Angel Sinclair Models of Diversity
There is an underlying feeling of subconscious exclusion toward people with
disabilities which is pervasive in our society. My feeling is the subconscious
exclusion is, in part, due to outdated images of people with disabilities. Pho-
toability is creating a shift from subconscious exclusion to conscious inclu-
sion with updated images of people with disabilities that are reflecting the
truth about disability, that it’s only another life experience. And experiences
in our lives always expand our possibilities. PhotoAbility is expanding every
ones possibilities!

PARKING
“Most people can be pretty sure someone is abusing
disabled parking, but then you have those mortifying
rare situations and the person will pull up their pant
leg and BOOM; prosthetic. CRAP! Sure, much more
often than not, that isn’t the case, but it makes some
people a little trigger shy to call on people. Every-
one warns you of the invisible disability, and I will
tell you this; thats total crap! I know thats going to
make some people mad at first, but keep reading.
Sure, there are invisible disabilities, but not for dis-
abled parking. Disabled parking has very stringent
guidelines, and they are for mobility problems. So
that means they might look ok at first, but after fol-
lowing them you should notice mobility impairments.
For those people that say they have an invisible dis-
ability, it is often that they are just self-absorbed and
feel entitled because an enabling doctor said ok. In
Arizona, the reasons are very clear and all of them are
severe difficulty walking (not that you get tired), use an
assistive device, or portable oxygen. One more way to
empower the people is to have programs like they do
in Phoenix, Arizona called “Save our Space”, where
citizens go through training to be able to issue disa-
bled parking tickets”.

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITYGINA CAMPBELL
Gina is C 5/6 quadriplegic from a diving accident on
October 11, 2003. She graduated with a BS from Ari-
zona State University and is currently a third year (3L)
law student at the Phoenix School of Law graduating
in December 2013. She has recently been hired by a
law firm Cluff & Cluff.
Gina is a California farm girl who moved to Arizona
to go to culinary school at age 18 yet, broke her neck
shortly after diving into a shallow pool.
She saw firsthand how disabled parking was severely
misused and abused shortly after her accident when
she was left stuck in a vehicle because someone de-
cided to pull into disabled parking before she could
get out to run inside while it was raining. Ever since
she has worked continuously to share with people
why disabled parking is needed, and should be re-
spected.
As Ms. Wheelchair Arizona 2008, her platform was
the misuse and abuse of disabled parking, as she
worked with local news and police departments to
help spread awareness. In 2009, she fought for the
City of Gilbert to update its disabled parking codes,
and was rewarded with a much more effective city
code that blocks anyone from parking on the access
aisle.
She is currently completing her Advanced Writing
Requirement, titled “Disabled Parking: Stale Legisla-
tion and Lack of Enforcement”, and it examines the
deficiencies in disabled parking while offering prac-
tical solutions.
Gina is also very passionate about food, and recently
designed a fully wheelchair accessible kitchen. She
has a fabulous food blog that she has had to put on
hold, but plans on getting back to in the future (culi-
naryquad.com).
Gina hopes to practice in both Arizona and California
with a focus on SCIs, and offer services in personal
injury, ADA compliance issues, estate planning, and
other issues related to disabilities.

PUSHLIVING
What if you could take a two week vacation an-
ywhere in the world of your choice with FREE
accommodation and a vehicle provided? What
if all you had to pay for was airfare to get there?
Well, this is a very real possibility with Home
Swapping or Home Exchange websites such as
http://www.homeforexchange.com/
http://www.homeexchange.com/show.
php?id=310089
While it is possible to select search criteria for
“wheelchair friendly” accommodation, do not
know what it means or simply do not think to se-
lect it as an option, even in cases where it may
actually be fairly accessible (i.e. few steps to en-
ter home or bedroom on first floor). Believe me:
just on vacation rental sites, you could waste
countless hours trying to search through photos
and writing to places to get the information you
need to determine if it would even be a possi-
bility.
Travability Properties
Then, of course, not everyone with a disability
has the same needs. Some will only need bars
in a bathroom, a shower chair rental, a raised or
higher toilet seat, and the ability to get through
TRAVABILITY PROPERTIESNew web site offers Accessible Properties for Sale, Rent or Swap!
a bathroom door with a chair. Others will want a roll
in shower and won’t need bars or raised toilet seats,
as they will use a commode chair instead of transfer-
ring. Not to mention, all chairs have a different width
and turning radius. This may all sound daunting, but
this is very doable with the right search questions and
detailed information asked and provided by those who
register their homes on these sites. However, will any
of these sites do it? Well, the answer is probably not.
Many mainstream websites and travel destinations do
not see the value of serving people with disabilities and
their families as consumers. This is a lost opportunity
for them and for individual and families with disabilities
to participate in the wonderful world of home exchange.
Travability Properties provides an excellent resource for
you to find accessible swaps, rentals, sales and vaca-
tion rentals throughout the world.
For a limited time, you can list your property for an en-
tire year for FREE. After that, there will be charge of only
$49 per year to list your property.
If you want to spend a week on vacation, you could
easily spend $250+ per night, or over $1800 per week.
What if you could spend only $49 per year to register
on our site and you could go on an unlimited number
of swaps?
Plus, if you do not find a swap that meets your needs,
you will be renewed for another year for free.
We personally contact each of our listings to qualify
their listings and help them to best feature their proper-
ties and accessibility features.
We provide sample agreements for you to use with your
swap partner, or you can design your own.
The site also offers straight vacation and long term
rentals, as well as homes for sale. Rental agreements
and home purchases are the responsibility of the par-
ties involved and we recommend you do all appropriate
research and seek proper legal counsel for these trans-
actions.

HOW IT WORKS
Use our Map Search feature to help you pinpoint where
homes are listed - think outside the box and dream of
the possibilities!
Keep in mind that just like all disabilities are different, so
are home accommodations. A ramp at the door may be
all you can functionally use at a particular home, so do
not assume because the person uses a wheelchair that
the toilet will be the right height for you, that they will
have grab bars you are used to, that the shower or bath
is usable or you will be able to use their equipment.
Look carefully at photos, ask for measurements if not
provided, and pre-plan any equipment rental options in
the area you are visiting.

  • 2. EDITORIAL Founded in 2012, PhotoAbility wants to continue to build a library of high quality images and educate and inspire the ad- vertising and design community to use, create and communicate with Inclusive imagery. What difference is there between Photo- ability and other stock photography web- sites? We pay more commission to our photo contrib- utors; we also pay our models a percentage as well. We act as a Model casting vehicle; we are exclusively specialized in Inclusive imagery. PhotoAbility is based in Melbourne Australia with an office in Fort Lauderdale Florida. PhotoAbility offers creative, editorial and commer- cial stock images, both Rights Managed and Roy- alty free, as well as Illustration and videos. Our customers are advertising agencies, direct marketing and graphic design agencies, corpora- tions, publishers and media companies, small to medium- sized businesses, as well as consumers. Many agencies and businesses around the world do not have the time or resources to take their own quality photographs for their media and ad- vertising activities, whether a local press release, publication or massive advertising campaign. That is where a Stock Image Library and your photos come into play. A photo library has a large selec- tion of images to cater for a variety of situations and needs and avoids the expense and time of custom photo shoots. Increasing the positive imagery of persons with disabilities and who use mobility devices such as wheelchairs, canes, walkers, guide dogs etc., will not only encourage further inclusion by increas- ing awareness that people with a disability want to participate and should be equally accommodat- ed, but will help to eliminate the fear and negative stereotyping that so often permeates all levels of society. Once people with disabilities we are represented by a true and complete reality of their lives; going on dates, enjoying activities and recreational fa- cilities with their families, on the job, on vacation, participating in sports, going shopping, enjoying a glass of wine, a good restaurant, and all the good things life has to offer, it will be understood and accepted that these people should be provided accommodations and consideration that recog- nizes how valuable their contribution really is to all these industries. wwwphotoability.net 888-978-3082 facebook.com/pages/PhotoAbility @PhotoAbility pinterest.com/photoability deborah.davis@pushliving.com How many members are currently regis- tered with Photoability and how many of these are active contributors? We have over 197 contributors. PhotoAbility now has over 2400 RF and RM imag- es for sale. How many images have Photoability sold since you began operation? On average how many images are sold per month? Not enough J. We have a marketing plan to change that in the next year. Photographers can earn up to 45% on imag- es priced from $20 for royalty free to $2500 for a Rights managed image used in a multi-national campaign. The cost of an image is based on a pricing calculator. Our vision for PhotoAbility is to be a valuable go-to source for Inclusive imagery worldwide, to provide recognition for our models that lead to revenue and increased opportunities. Our image gallery, intends to increase awareness of the value in maintaining and making structural and attitudi- nal changes, it will encourage and sustain the par- ticipation of those with differing abilities around the world

  • 4. Sara Espinoza Photography Sara Espinoza Photography PHOTOABILITY.NET PhotoAbility.net represents one billion persons with disabilities spending billions in travel and lifestyle dollars in economies all over the world. Yet, we are rarely seen or acknowledged in ad- vertising and editorial images. Why is a small, yet powerful and growing segment of society not being seen or represented as customers? Increasing the positive imagery of persons with disabilities and who use mobility devices such as wheelchairs, canes, walkers, guide dogs etc., will not only encourage further inclusion by increasing awareness that we want to par- ticipate and should be equally accommodated, but will help to eliminate the fear and negative stereotyping that so often permeates all levels of society. We feel that once we are represented by a true and complete reality of our lives; going on dates, enjoying activities and recreational facil- ities with our families, on the job, on vacation, participating in sports, going shopping, enjoy- ing a glass of wine, a good restaurant, and all the good things life has to offer, it will be un- derstood and accepted that we should be pro- vided accommodations and consideration that recognizes how valuable our contribution really is to all these industries. We, through our image gallery, hope that by in- creasing awareness of the value in maintaining and making structural and attitudinal changes, it will encourage and sustain the participation of those with differing abilities around the world.

  • 5. Andrea Jehn Kennedy Andrea Jehn Kennedy SPORTS & DISABILITYIN ADVERTISING Whether it is a marathon, water or snow skiing, horse- back riding, tennis, kayaking, WCMX, off-roading, mountain climbing, etc., there is increased participa- tion in adaptive sports and recreation, and this is being captured by quality photographers who are seeking an outlet and a market for this type of imagery. These types of images are being represented more and more in society as sport and recreation has become a well-funded and supported agenda within the disability sector. The call for this is even a part of the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD): “Participa- tion in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport.”
  • 6. Blue Skate Park Christiaan Otter Bailey Then there are nonprofit groups, like Achilles Inter- national and The Challenged Athletes Foundation, whose purpose is to provide access and opportunity in communities, not only in the US, but throughout the world. Chris Holcomb, a C 6-7 fully independent user of a manual wheelchair and wheelchair athlete, works for SE Region of Achilles. Chris also serves as an example of “inspiration and hope,” traveling with fellow disabled ambassadors to places like Columbia and Poland. He is sponsored by grants and hosted by US Embassies to visit hospitals and disabled per- sons groups providing wheelchairs, equipment, and role models for the benefits that access, equality and fitness can provide. Adaptive cross country cycleThe Challenged Athletes Foundation encourages participation by giving away grants to individuals so they can do everything from buying a handcycle, taking horse riding and judo les- sons, to purchasing adaptive equipment of all kinds to enable participation in sports. It is the mission of the Challenged Athletes Foundation to “provide op- portunities and support to people with physical dis- abilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics”. The Chal- lenged Athletes Foundation believes that involvement in sports at any level “increases self-esteem, encour- ages independence and enhances quality of life“. Normalizing disability via greater inclusion and repe- tition in advertising may be the answer to the desire of those who want to be seen as equal but different, accomplished and capable athletes and citizens. According to the Society for Disability Studies re The market for disability images is immature but grow- ing and there are too few market leaders outside the advocacy/disability product/service providers’ area using images of people with a disability in a consist- ent manner. Adaptive canoeing Candace Cable, a gold medal winning Paralympian and blogger for the Christopher Reeves Foundation as well as an advocate and edu- cator for disability issues eloquently stated: “There is an underlying feeling of subconscious ex- clusion toward people with disabilities which is per- vasive in our society. My feeling is the subconscious exclusion is, in part, due to outdated images of people with disabilities. Sports have the ability to cross boundaries and update those images”. PhotoAbility.net, via its online stock image library, offers a wide range of sports related imagery for purchase. PhotoAbility, as a new company born from the entrepreneurial spirit, appreciates the assistance and support it was given by others in our community and strongly believes in giving back and supporting the success of others with disabilities.
  • 7. Young boy W Forrester The more individuals who have access to equip- ment that allows them to get out and active in recreational and sports activities, either leisure- ly or competitively, the more positive health and self-esteem and social interaction there is…all with positive implications to society. The ques- tion that PhotoAbility.net seeks to answer is: why aren’t more mainstream advertisers taking ad- vantage of the popularity of this theme and what needs to happen to see a real increase in the use of imagery of persons with disabilities?. PhotoAbility was established in March 2012 by Deborah Davis and Bill Forrester with the goal of providing high quality, unique, non-medically oriented imagery of persons with disabilities for purchase by the advertising, marketing and me- dia sectors. The Commercial Stock Image Library specializes in positive and “Inclusive” images of people with a disability in leisure, lifestyle and travel settings. The 2000+ inclusive images depicted in the Pho- toAbility gallery are designed to impact attitudinal bias, change perception and provide motivation to eliminate and reduce social, structural and pro- fessional barriers. A wave of change reflected in popular media and advertising can make an im- pact on laws and attitudes around the globe, and on how many with differing abilities view them- selves.
  • 8. Ira Goldstein In partnership with Rachelle Friedman & PhotoAbility.net To benefit Funding and Research for SCI and its related Issues and to Promote the Inclusion of Individuals with Disabilities in Media and Advertising A PARALYZED LIFEPHOTOSHOOT PROJECT The creative concept is to demonstrate through images the issues that are affecting those indi- viduals with paralyzing disabilities. Rachelle and many others like her who experience a traumat- ic injury quickly realize the disability is often not the biggest challenge they must overcome. The photos in this gallery conceptualize these hardships by illustrating a photo juxtaposition showing a positive and negative reality. What should be and what currently is and how they look and feel This developing gallery will showcase the following core is- sues • Lack of needed Medical/Healthcare funding for medical sup- plies and equipment such as lightweight custom wheelchairs: • Lack of access to specialized healthcare providers, Medic- aid/Medicare cuts, and facilities that are not accessible: • Structural accessibility and Inclusive design: • Employment • Lack of Handicapped parking and Enforcement: • Romantic Isolation and loneliness due to misconceptions and bias as to sexuality and partnership potential: • Need for Funding for SCI Research/Cure/Pain Management: • Housing/Nursing Homes: Images will be added to the Project Gallery as completed.

  • 9. Remember “Networking Daniel Ruiz, President Association for Disabled Americans www.ADA2000.org only works, if the Net- Works....” TESTIMONIALS I must say for what PhotoAbility has done and is heading is quite an inspiration for those in- dividuals that have disabilities. It has all ways been the intention in good-faith when someone was asked that has a disability to be interviewed or even photographed for “someone’s” gain/ project; e.g. reporters, columnist, companies, etc and in most cases the individual would not get paid and would be made to feel if it was a “favor” that was being done, by getting that individuals story/pictures/etc. Here at PhotoAbility an individual is presented with an oppor- tunity to not only have fun and make a few dollars but to be involved in a project that can promote; life style, (or lack of) vigor for the zest of living life and not just merely being alive. In comparison with other similar website, they pale in comparison in were PhotoAbility is head- ing and evolving. This is not a website that is promoting disabled individuals that would be auditioning for a horror movie or even your “stereotypical” clinical setting, Kudos to PhotoA- bility for being part of the “New-Breath” of the disabled community.
  • 10. “I’m so proud to be affiliated with PhotoAbility as a model, and I want its mission to both thrive and succeed. It’s so very important in our ev- er-changing world to be a motivated agent of change. Although there are still many struggles, it’s people like Deborah Davis who make this a golden age for living with a disability. It’s only a matter of time before the rest of the world will be- gin to take notice & see the value in PhotoAbility, too!” “This is a fantastic idea. A sector of the population that is becoming increasingly more important to market to and is often overlooked. Having this type of imagery opens the door to new marketing oppor- tunities for marketers and ultimately, new sources of revenue.”. “As a photographer with a disability, and as a marketing/PR person who is constantly needing photography, I know all to well how rare it is to find quality photos related to disabilities.A site that specializes will be a valuable resource. Loren Worthington www.WorthingtonVisuals.com Edwin Benoît PrincipalElevateTheExperience.com Sarah Mueller
  • 11. “People with disabilities are productive,active members of society who travel, embrace life and love adventure. I am ecstatic to finally to see a company accurately depict this dynamic spirit that is inside each one of us. I hope that PhotoAbility is a renowned success and these photos will become the norm in mainstream advertising and media.” an online magazine for women in wheelchairs Founder of www.mobileWOMEN.org “We would love to support you. I think what you guys are do- ing is fantastic. We have a number of images you would love to use” Angel Sinclair Models of Diversity There is an underlying feeling of subconscious exclusion toward people with disabilities which is pervasive in our society. My feeling is the subconscious exclusion is, in part, due to outdated images of people with disabilities. Pho- toability is creating a shift from subconscious exclusion to conscious inclu- sion with updated images of people with disabilities that are reflecting the truth about disability, that it’s only another life experience. And experiences in our lives always expand our possibilities. PhotoAbility is expanding every ones possibilities! winning ParaOlympian Jan 1979 to May 2006 Candace Cable Wendy Crawford

  • 14. “Most people can be pretty sure someone is abusing disabled parking, but then you have those mortifying rare situations and the person will pull up their pant leg and BOOM; prosthetic. CRAP! Sure, much more often than not, that isn’t the case, but it makes some people a little trigger shy to call on people. Every- one warns you of the invisible disability, and I will tell you this; thats total crap! I know thats going to make some people mad at first, but keep reading. Sure, there are invisible disabilities, but not for dis- abled parking. Disabled parking has very stringent guidelines, and they are for mobility problems. So that means they might look ok at first, but after fol- lowing them you should notice mobility impairments. For those people that say they have an invisible dis- ability, it is often that they are just self-absorbed and feel entitled because an enabling doctor said ok. In Arizona, the reasons are very clear and all of them are severe difficulty walking (not that you get tired), use an assistive device, or portable oxygen. One more way to empower the people is to have programs like they do in Phoenix, Arizona called “Save our Space”, where citizens go through training to be able to issue disa- bled parking tickets”. Author: GINA CAMPBELL
  • 16. VOICES OF THE COMMUNITYGINA CAMPBELL Gina is C 5/6 quadriplegic from a diving accident on October 11, 2003. She graduated with a BS from Ari- zona State University and is currently a third year (3L) law student at the Phoenix School of Law graduating in December 2013. She has recently been hired by a law firm Cluff & Cluff. Gina is a California farm girl who moved to Arizona to go to culinary school at age 18 yet, broke her neck shortly after diving into a shallow pool. She saw firsthand how disabled parking was severely misused and abused shortly after her accident when she was left stuck in a vehicle because someone de- cided to pull into disabled parking before she could get out to run inside while it was raining. Ever since she has worked continuously to share with people why disabled parking is needed, and should be re- spected. As Ms. Wheelchair Arizona 2008, her platform was the misuse and abuse of disabled parking, as she worked with local news and police departments to help spread awareness. In 2009, she fought for the City of Gilbert to update its disabled parking codes, and was rewarded with a much more effective city code that blocks anyone from parking on the access aisle. She is currently completing her Advanced Writing Requirement, titled “Disabled Parking: Stale Legisla- tion and Lack of Enforcement”, and it examines the deficiencies in disabled parking while offering prac- tical solutions. Gina is also very passionate about food, and recently designed a fully wheelchair accessible kitchen. She has a fabulous food blog that she has had to put on hold, but plans on getting back to in the future (culi- naryquad.com). Gina hopes to practice in both Arizona and California with a focus on SCIs, and offer services in personal injury, ADA compliance issues, estate planning, and other issues related to disabilities. http://pushliving.com/index.php/lifestyle/voic- es-of-the-community/27-disabled-parking PUSHLIVING
  • 17. What if you could take a two week vacation an- ywhere in the world of your choice with FREE accommodation and a vehicle provided? What if all you had to pay for was airfare to get there? Well, this is a very real possibility with Home Swapping or Home Exchange websites such as http://www.homeforexchange.com/ http://www.homeexchange.com/show. php?id=310089 While it is possible to select search criteria for “wheelchair friendly” accommodation, do not know what it means or simply do not think to se- lect it as an option, even in cases where it may actually be fairly accessible (i.e. few steps to en- ter home or bedroom on first floor). Believe me: just on vacation rental sites, you could waste countless hours trying to search through photos and writing to places to get the information you need to determine if it would even be a possi- bility. Travability Properties Then, of course, not everyone with a disability has the same needs. Some will only need bars in a bathroom, a shower chair rental, a raised or higher toilet seat, and the ability to get through TRAVABILITY PROPERTIESNew web site offers Accessible Properties for Sale, Rent or Swap! a bathroom door with a chair. Others will want a roll in shower and won’t need bars or raised toilet seats, as they will use a commode chair instead of transfer- ring. Not to mention, all chairs have a different width and turning radius. This may all sound daunting, but this is very doable with the right search questions and detailed information asked and provided by those who register their homes on these sites. However, will any of these sites do it? Well, the answer is probably not. Many mainstream websites and travel destinations do not see the value of serving people with disabilities and their families as consumers. This is a lost opportunity for them and for individual and families with disabilities to participate in the wonderful world of home exchange. Travability Properties provides an excellent resource for you to find accessible swaps, rentals, sales and vaca- tion rentals throughout the world. For a limited time, you can list your property for an en- tire year for FREE. After that, there will be charge of only $49 per year to list your property. If you want to spend a week on vacation, you could easily spend $250+ per night, or over $1800 per week. What if you could spend only $49 per year to register on our site and you could go on an unlimited number of swaps? Plus, if you do not find a swap that meets your needs, you will be renewed for another year for free. We personally contact each of our listings to qualify their listings and help them to best feature their proper- ties and accessibility features. We provide sample agreements for you to use with your swap partner, or you can design your own. The site also offers straight vacation and long term rentals, as well as homes for sale. Rental agreements and home purchases are the responsibility of the par- ties involved and we recommend you do all appropriate research and seek proper legal counsel for these trans- actions.

  • 18. SARA ESPINOZA HOW IT WORKS Use our Map Search feature to help you pinpoint where homes are listed - think outside the box and dream of the possibilities! Keep in mind that just like all disabilities are different, so are home accommodations. A ramp at the door may be all you can functionally use at a particular home, so do not assume because the person uses a wheelchair that the toilet will be the right height for you, that they will have grab bars you are used to, that the shower or bath is usable or you will be able to use their equipment. Look carefully at photos, ask for measurements if not provided, and pre-plan any equipment rental options in the area you are visiting. Enjoying Vancouver’s famed Steam Clock Travability Properties is a membership based system. It is free to browse our property listings and to inquire on a member listing. In order to list you property you must purchase our subscription plan and register as an agent in our system.
