Syria :: Damascus

30th April 2009

Syria is amazing.

But the stories we encountered were heart wrenching, mostly of Iraqi refugees who fled the violence in Iraq & now live in Syria (see below).

It was one of my more challenging assignments.  I was working mainly indoors under very poor lighting.  So most of my favorite images were outdoor cityscapes-  quite a departure for me actually.
