Subject: [Leica] IMGS: Syrian Refugees

PESO:

I've had to put Iran on hold for now and work on a project that's coming up
too soon.  Winthrop University and several churches are sponsoring a
project to help Syrian refugees.  As a part of the fund-raising, I will be
having an exhibit in the Winthrop gallery called Putting a Face on Syria.
It will consist of life-sized black and white prints of Syrian refugees
(mostly children) that I have met in Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iran.  The
prints will be for sale, but I'll also be selling note-cards for a whole
lot less. For every $25 we raise, we can send a Syrian child to school for
a year.

I thought I'd make the note-cards a contrast to the prints with a dreamy,
sepia look instead of the direct, confrontational black and white of the
big prints.  I've put a few up on my website to think about them for a few
days before I do any more.  I will only choose one of each child but I have
lots more children to go.  Each one will include the name of the child.

What do you think?
