The death of hope...

(...) So save your breath, I will not hear.
I think I made it very clear.
You couldn't hate enough to love.
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend.
Then I could hurt you in the end.
I never claimed to be a saint...
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go...!!

I think I may have forgotten to blog about this amazing experience.

I had the pleasure and honor to work with an amazing group of friends and photographers for a great cause: Celebrating 60 Years of the UNHCR. For this, all of us, the Irish Lightstalkers, shot refugees in Ireland.

This one was my photos of Alvaro and Memo. Two Chilean brothers who came to Dublin in the early 70s with their family escaping Pinochet's regime. 37 years later, they are still here and have a family of their own. It was such a pleasure to hear their stories and work with them.

You can see more photos of the event here.
