This month my work is included in Camera Arts feature “Visionaries and Noble Hearts of the Eddie Adams Workshop.” It is a beautiful and eloquently written piece about the work of fourteen of the one hundred attending photojournalists. It was a privilege to attend in the first place, it is quite exciting to also be selected as one of the “visionaries and noble hearts” of the world-renowned workshop.
