TERRIFIC Seniors : Dr. Aurora Delespin-Jones

I recently photographed Dr. Aurora Delespin-Jones as part of a series on our community's seniors I am doing in collaboration with TERRIFIC Inc.

Many thanks to Dr. Delespin-Jones, Joseph McCarley (the interviewer from TERRIFIC Inc.), and to my intern from Burke School, Charlotte Yang.

Small steps: Mid-East peace progress | Washington Institute for Near East Policy

A photograph I made  for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy of Prince Turki bin Faisal, Saudi Arabia's former intelligence chief and one-time ambassador to Washington, and retired IDF Maj. Gen. Yaakov Amidror, former national security advisor of Israel. The two nations do not recognize one another. So, this handshake and public discussion mattered. Steps towards peace. Slow, but steps. 

Thanks to Jeff Rubin of the Institute for the assignment, and his confidence in my work.

ECDC banquet

I recently photographed the reception and banquet for the Ethiopian Community Development Council. Award-winng Malian musician Cheick Hamala Diabate  and his band provided the entertainment.

The whole world dancing. Peace and happiness. As it should be.

Thanks to Dr. Tsehaye Teferra and Allene Wright of ECDC.
