If one person sees my photos of Honduras and decides to help, that makes a difference. If one person sees a photo of a family in Honduras or Guatemala and realizes that all Central Americans are not rapists and drug dealers and gang members, that will make a difference. I do hear from people occasionally who let me know that has happened. We have also raised over $2,000,000 for self-development projects by using my photos to promote the projects. I love working on the photos of my family, too. There are not enough hours in the day and I'm getting older than dirt!!
