Here is the image, and the graphic illustration:
Dr. Hamlin’s many decades of work surrounding maternal health in the area of fistula repair and prevention has earned her a well deserved Nobel Peace Prize nomination this year so there were many reasons to celebrate her life.
She was joyous and curious during the whole event, and even came to an intimate dinner party that same night. She is an incredible inspiration to many!
Nicholas Kristof wrote an article about her, and Oprah made a generous donation to the hospital in her honor.
I am hoping to be able to devote more time to the organization she started. First up: a redesign of their website and assistance with a revamped communications plan.
And yes, relaying more stories regarding how Hamlin Fistula Hospital saves and improves the lives of rural Ethiopian women.
Gard Communications did the design work and I am truly stunned at the job they did. And, oh how those dancers can leap. Over and over and over again.
It was an honor to be able to work on this great assignment and watch with amazement how the dancers moved and personified facial expressions on command.

Here is the spread in print for 1859 Magazine, including behind the scenes video interviews with each designer. It was an honor to meet the designers and see their new designs!
When Kevin Max, editor of 1859 Magazine asked me if I would photograph cyclists and their bicycles inside of an art museum, I told him it would never be permitted.
Lucky for us! The current Portland Art Museum “Cyclopedia” exhibit was about to launch, and the timing was right. The museum swapped out people on every hour whose responsibility was to monitor our moves: no one nor any equipment could get within four feet of any art piece.
Lucky for us again: nothing was broken, and fun was had by all.
Such an inspiring program!
Daniy sustains happy energy no matter what he is asked to do.
And I am a cheap date: magazine editorial rates can pay for a few books, but hardly enough to help with college tuition for my three offspring.
But if truth be told, I do this because I repeatedly fall in love with some of the subjects. I never know when it will hit me, and it is a random thing. The way a hand brushes lint from a skirt, a pause in a spoken sentence, a flip of an attitude, a squeal of glee, one sarcastic comment.
I go home, download the images, and BAM. I am in love.
Here are a few people who have had that effect on me. There are more tucked away on external hard drives, but I snagged a few here because, well, I love to think about what they bring to the world, one small gesture at a time.
