Never Ending

I don't think the editing process is ever really complete, but there's just that decision as to when it is time to stop.
That being said, here is a slight re-edit of the Vietnamese Community project.

Including Samuel

During "Mayfest" at SU this spring, Dan Habib visited to speak about his documentary "Including Samuel", a film about educational and social inclusion with his son and other subjects. The film was both informative and moving, providing a look inside the issue and from different sides. Worth checking out! It was also interesting to hear about how a photojournalist takes a look at his own life and family, as difficult as that can sometimes be, and about the move to film-making. To read more about Dan's new position read here.

Congrats

Congratulations to Denny Simmons and others. A former colleague from interning at the Evansville Courier & Press , Denny was one of those photojournalists who made you realize how great photojournalism is and how much greater it was that you could be doing something so cool and actually get paid to do it. The enthusiasm has paid off over the years, and I know he taught me a thing or two.

Some recent photos:


A poet in the Vietnamese Community of Syracuse, Vinh Dang writes his experiences of leaving Vietnam for future generations. He is quite an extraordinary scholar, and I had the chance to hear him read some of his poems in Vietnamese, French and English during one of his English lessons, which mostly consist of poetry translation.


The Saigon Hair Salon, while Vietnamese in ownership and employment, does most business outside of the Vietnamese Community. There are always customers waiting.


Doing homework while waiting for customers in her parents' restaurant is the lifestyle for the children of many business owners. The place served Vietnamese food and Kimchi, and were kind enough to let me come over for their New Year festivities of food and gambling candy.
