Ethiopia Print Sale
I just sold a print, “Hirut”, to someone who lives in BahirDar, Ethiopia. The proceeds from all print sales enable me to support projects in Ethiopia, so this makes me very happy.
This print will be 16X24 inches, printed by PushDot Studio, and will be hung in The B+B Guest Annex that is rented to visitors.
Come for a visit to beautiful Ethiopia!
Worldwide Photography Biennial Exhibition
One of my favorite images, “Abera”, was selected by Steve McCurry in his list of “special mentions by the juror” category and will be included in the curated exhibit opening at the Borges Cultural Center in December in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This image is dear to me because while I was deep in a remote area of Ethiopia photographing a midwife, I turned around and saw this young boy looking at me with the most intense expression. I had seconds to react, obtain his ok to permit me to photograph him, and not lose that moment where he seems to be looking into my soul.
My focus was off. I usually focus on the eyes, and in this image the center of focus is on his hands. But had I taken longer to compose the shot to my liking, I would have captured an entirely different portrait.
I look at this image almost every day to remind me of the level of humanity that is found in the spirit of the Ethiopian people.
(Funds from any sales of prints are returned to projects in Ethiopia.)

Images Seen in Christiane Amanpour’s CNN Coverage of Gaza
It is a very odd feeling to be sitting in a hotel in NYC and see my images in the background in Mercy Corps’ headquarters in Gaza. I hesitate to feel good about such a thing when the country is in such peril, but I heard that the images brighten people’s lives there. So I am honored to be a teeny tiny part of effort in that area of our world.
Here is what the Mercy Corps’ video/media director had to say about the photos:
You should know that Christiane asked me where the photos were taken and she really liked them–I mean she totally commented on them and she was not exactly forthcoming in praise on much! So huge kudos to you!!!! Now the hard question.. the country director here (who is an amazing woman from Gaza who ran the office through the war while 4 months pregnant and kept the aid moving…) is in love with your photos. If I left them here she would be incredibly happy. What do you say? GORGEOUS Pics. And know you just made the whole Gaza team really happy!!
And to think that I have a hard time transporting these huge images just through town…and they look like they made the trip all the way to Gaza in great shape! I hope they do brighten the walls during such difficult circumstances.
Here is a link to the CNN story
And many thanks to Pro Photo Supply for donating the printing of the images!
