Well, just a quick note from New Brunswick- not Italy. Just got back home last night from three weeks in Italy. What a trip, what a country. Sure it rained a lot, but those moments when the sun came out were pure magic. This photo was taken with my little pocket camera, the Lumix LX3. Beautiful camera to play with and a great trip camera. More to come- once I catch up on all the piles of office work that has found its way onto my desk. Stay tuned.

This photo of Sudanese refugees was taken in Asosa, Ethiopia on an assignment there for MSF. We were working in one part of the camp when I heard singing and some kind of a rattling sound, so picking up my camera I ran for about five minutes and saw this group of women singing and dancing there way down a dirt path. People told me that two or three times a day the women would suddenly start to dance and sing- an amazing attitude when you think about where they were and what they had been through. Life goes on.
