After his leukemia diagnosis in 2017, Reg Campbell, a professional photographer, started documenting what he thought would be seven months of treatment. The “Septua” exhibition is on display through December 3 at the San Antonio Center for Photography.
Frolick said Campbell’s exhibit is in partnership with the center, South Texas Blood and Tissue, and
, a national registry connecting patients with their donor match for life-saving bone marrow or blood stem cell transplants.Adriana Vasquez was with South Texas Blood and Tissue helping spread the word about Campbell’s search for a blood marrow donor. Vasquez, who is now with the Blood and Tissue Foundation, said it was one of the reasons Campbell was chronicling his journey with cancer -- to give potential donors “an inside look” at the patient and the family they would be helping.
Frolick said, “He was able to do that in such a raw way.

This Saturday, the public will have the opportunity during a blood and marrow registry drive from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the United Way parking lot in the 700 block of South Alamo. The “Septua” exhibition, on display nearby, will be open for viewing from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday.Jessie Degollado has been with KSAT since 1984.
