Back from New Orleans, Off to Lebanon




Ompf, it is hard to keep this blog up right now but good stuff going on.

Just returned from New Orleans, shooting portraits of two young women involved in reproductive health care. We met some amazing young people who gave us an insiders view of how natural disasters like Katrina affect their lives and their communities. Special thanks to Eric, Jennifer and Vanessa!

Then, on August 25th, we're off to Lebanon to shoot Uniformed Services folks who do AIDS advocacy. Both of these shoots are for the project I'm doing with UNFPA and Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children.

Some pics from the Lower Ninth Ward to give you a sense of where things are now, three years after Katrina...
