Migrant safe house in Oaxaca

I'm in El Salvador at the moment. Shooting assignment for for 3 NGO's.

I stayed at a safe-house in Mexico a few days ago, where migrants from Central America are given safe haven for a few days before their final clandestine push over the US border.   'nothing to lose' in their deep, dark eyes.

I went to many orphanages, where children of all ages are abandoned by their parents.  They are so withdrawn and consumed by low self esteem, as no one hugs them or tells them they are loved every day.  Broke my cold heart....

Give your kids some love tonight...

Utah under the dead of night

I spent the last week out on the road checking out Utah and Arizona. Zion has always been my favorite of our National Parks; Small, beautiful and uncrowded relatively.

This trip though, I spent some hours of solitude away from a group I was guiding. I hung out on the crossroads in Utah hearing the silence and watching the lonely cars wiz by into the dark.
I loved the peace out there, seeing the moon stare down onto the pavement. The road seems to own the area once again when the sun goes down.
