Finding Beauty Everywhere: The Photography of Aiden McVay
Old Colorado City, Colorado Springs 2021Unhoused Man, Grand Junction. Aiden’s first portrait, 2021.Self-Portrait mid-seizure. “My body is tighter than a yo-yo. The pain is so intense it feels as if I’m on fire. The rumbling in my stomach is like a volcano waiting to explode. The spasms are crumpling up my muscles and ripping them apart. But this is the price I pay for not seizing 24 hours a day. Keto may save me from seizing all the time, but it requires my body just as the devil requires a soul.“

Aiden passed away October 6th. See your tribute to them here.
Aiden’s mom, Morgan, was Aiden’s primary full-time caregiver. Morgan was paid to take care of Aiden, and with Aiden’s passing Morgan and Aiden’s sibling are now without an income. This is a very hard time for Aiden’s family, and the loss of a job only makes it harder. Anything helps. Please help.
Additionally, Funds will also go towards the publishing of a book Aiden was working on, and website to share their legacy with the world.
The Revolutionist is excited to announce that funds raised in excess of the family’s needs, will go into the Aiden McVay Young Journalist Fund, so The Revolutionist can pay college and high school aged writers for their work! Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
