Tamar's life exemplified strength, courage and compassion, whose battles against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was fought like a soldier, warrior and champion. Tamar brought this disease to the forefront of her family and friends minds. She never lost her faith, grace or beauty. 

"Who will walk for me?" a question Tamar would often ask is quoted in Jackson Hunsicker inspiring new photography book. "Turning Heads" Portraits of Grace, Inspiration, and Possibilities. The  idea was to glamorize and humanize women who had to battle for not only their lives but their self-esteem as well, and to empower women undergoing chemotherapy to appreciate and accept their beautiful baldness.

Hunsicker a cancer survivor her self, convince more than 50 of America’s top photographers to shoot portraits of women who’d gone through what she had. Howard Schatz is one of the photographers who took part in the project. Tamar's photos were shot in Howard Schatz's studio, New York City. http://www.howardschatz.com/

The words of Tamar Renee Bolt 2003, in Turning Heads

“You ever seen Charlie Brown? When the teacher is talking and it sounds like, ‘Wha, wha, wha?’ The kids can’t hear a thing. That’s how it was with me. The doctor was talking and I didn’t hear anything. All I heard was the doctor going ‘Wha, wha, wha.’ The worst part? Feeling alone. Even if there a million people around you, they can always get up and leave. You can’t leave. Support groups and a good doctor help but don’t listen to anybody who hasn’t been through it. Only listen to people who have been through it themselves. Nobody else knows what you’re talking about. Another thing, every time you turn on the television, it’s this person or that person walking for breast cancer. What about me? I have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Who’s walking for me?"

*Howard Schatz has received international critical acclaim for his photography, and one of the most sought-after photographers working today.
