Connolly, Kevin Michael

Kevin Connolly was born without legs. But this has not stopped him from experiencing life. A world traveler, he has taken more than thirty thousand photographs of people staring at him. He is also a champion mono-ski racer and a professional photographer. His photo exhibition has been presented in museums across the world, including the Smithsonian. In his memoir he casts the lens inward to explore how we view ourselves and others.

A memoir in which photographer, skier, and skateboarder Kevin Connolly tells what it was like to grow up without legs, discussing his loving parents, his dad's continuing efforts to invent devices to make his life easier, his participation in sports, and his habit of taking pictures of people who stare at him--a project that became a traveling exhibit.
