Magazine cover shot

After photographing, I got involved settling 7 refugees from the Sudan civil wars, a most rewarding experience. Never having even seen a computer, within a month they were tutoring me on PC operations. All 7 of them graduated from high school, went on to college, and are now U.S. citizens. (Film photo scanned on my $99 printer).

They were the most optimistic, aware, and eager people I've ever been around, especially considering the inconceivable horrors they'd so recently experienced.

10. Thanks for the article. Just the smallest taste of what the boys endured. Unbelievable, but believable
