Here’s a selection of photos by Nicholas Nixon from his exhibit “Patients” at New York City’s Yossi Milo Gallery. They come from a series of large format photos of seriously or terminally ill patients that the Brookline resident and MassArt teacher shot over the past few years at Boston Medical Center, the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Children's Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, all in Boston.
