Haiti – Kids, Life and Hope

Mila – My American Bully who fell from Heaven
Apparently, it takes famous people committing suicide, children being murdered, and people from the mainstream population overdosing from opioids, for us to wake up. This sounds like I’m going to get political, I’m not. I am grateful that we are talking more. This...

“It’s one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness” Paul Strand
My hope is that these essays will depict our sameness and not our differences. Compassion feeds the soul. We are part of the same family, our human collective.
