Had a great time getting to know the team that does such an incredible job caring for the Kotzchamar organ and creating new portraits for Adam MacDonald as he steps in as the new Executive Director of KOKO

The first Friday Art Walk in Portland, Maine always brings the city to life. During the December art walk, we came upon The Sea Change Chorale in front of the Reny's on Congress Street. They brought all of the classic carols to a captivated audience all while raising the awareness for the Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition need for warm clothing items. What a collection of donated items by the end of the night. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with the city and for caring for such a vulnerable group! Bravo! 

Thankful for the partnership formed between Evergreen Subaru, Greater Androscoggin Humane Society. They planned a wonderful afternoon where all of these puppies could find a loving home. 

We were honored to photograph all of the wonderful moments of love at first sight. We hope the best for all of the families that took home a little puppy. They have their hands full. Lots of love to go around no doubt! 

It’s taken a long time for me to post any images of that day. The 2011 medical screening was held at the national stadium in Freetown, Sierra Leone. It was not a successful day. It was not a good day. For those of us that were there and in the thick of it, the moments still haunt us, like bright flashes of light in a dark room. Permanently bright intolerable pops of moments in our mind, hitting us when we least expect it to happen. 

I am in no way a medical professional, I am a photographer and photographed what I saw. In the midst of the unnecessary tragedies I witnessed a few heroes, my amazing friends, going above and beyond their training and abilities to try to bring life back to the community, literally. 

My deepest condolences everyday and forever to the local people of Sierra Leone who experienced this tragedy due to the failures of being unprepared, and inconsiderate to your needs. I am very sorry.
