Magazine cover shot

After photographing, I got involved settling 7 refugees from the Sudan civil wars, a most rewarding experience. Never having even seen a computer, within a month they were tutoring me on PC operations. All 7 of them graduated from high school, went on to college, and are now U.S. citizens. (Film photo scanned on my $99 printer).

They were the most optimistic, aware, and eager people I've ever been around, especially considering the inconceivable horrors they'd so recently experienced.
