Yesterday, I had the opportunity to spend some time with some Darfur refugees currently living outside of Cairo. I spent a few hours interviewing them and heard stories of torture, missing family members and the difficulties that come with living in a foreign country with nothing.
I have a number of audio tracks to listen to and assemble the interview information but, for the time being, I wanted to upload a few photos before I move on to the West Bank. I’ve been having a terrible time finding the bandwidth to upload more than a couple so this will have to do for now.

Being a freelance photographer gives me a degree of freedom that might not otherwise be possible. However, that also means that I am often forced to finance my own projects. If you enjoy my work, please consider making a donation.
