That's true, Nathan, but I've always tried to use my photography to make a
difference in the world.  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!!
