Notes from the Field

I was at a book store a few years ago when I came across an agenda book with various faces of women and children from all over the world. I took each of those pictures and placed them on my wall. When people come over and ask me what is the story behind the pictures, I tell them that these people are a part of my family. I went to purchase an agenda book the other day.
