The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our secretary of State and president."

OPENING RECEPTION: April 23 - 6PM
In 1986, photojournalist Didier Lefevre documented one of the clandestine cross-border humanitarian missions undertaken by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to assist Afghans trapped in areas hardest-hit by the Soviet invasion. Dodging Soviet aircraft and navigating treacherous terrain, Lefevre's journey nearly cost him his life. He collaborated with aclaimed illustrator Emmanuel Guibert and graphic designer Frederic Lemercier to bring this story to life in THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
This exhibit offers a taste of the book that combines the late Lefevre's dramatic images and Guibert's stunning artwork to bear witness to the hardships endured by the Afghan people throughout this conflict—and to the present day.
Emmanuel Guibert explained how a conversation with photographer Didier Lefèvre, evolved into the incredible story told in the book, depicted by his own stunning artwork and Didier’s photographs.
Mark Siegel, editorial director at First Second Books, talked about the process of creating the English version of the book, and the wonderful opportunity to now share this story with the English speaking world.
Doctors Without Borders-USA Executive Director Sophie Delaunay explained MSF’s current activities in the Afghan-Pakistani region.
Juliette Fournot, who served as head of mission in Afghanistan for MSF from 1983-1989, and is one of the aid workers featured prominently in the book. She spoke about her role in MSF as a doctor, organizer, and woman.

MSF does art therapy with the children and this picture was drawn by an actual young child who has grown up with the horrors of guerilla warfare in Colombia.
My children draw butterflies, flowers, and rainbows. This child draws people being bombedby planes.
It's a sad, sick world sometimes. This part of the camp (there were six drawings from Colombia) made me have to stop and compose myself so I wouldn't start sobbing.

Docteur Isaac, chirurgien pour Médecins Sans Frontières à l'hôpital général de Mweso, à la frontière entre les territoires de Masisi et Rutshuru, dans la province du Nord-Kivu, en République démocratique du Congo, consulte un patient le 7 février 2017.Il y a trois ans, ce motard a été attaqué par des hommes armés sur la route reliant Mweso à Goma. “Ils m'ont arréte, m'ont tout pris, puis, sans raison, m'ont tiré dans la jambe et ont tué mes deux clients”. Des complications ont entrainé une nécrose osseuse. / Doctor Isaac, surgeon for Médecins Sans Frontières at the General Hospital of Mweso, situated at the border between the Masisi and Rutshuru territories in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is consulting a patient on February 7th, 2017. Three years ago, this motorcycle driver was attacked by armed men on the road between Mweso and Goma. "They stopped me, took everything away, then, without reason, shoot me in the leg and killed my two clients." Complications resulted in bone necrosis.
L'Unité Nutritionnelle Thérapeutique Intensive (UNTI) du département de pédiatrie de l'hôpital général de Mweso, géré par Médecins Sans Frontières, à la frontière entre les territoires de Masisi et Rutshuru, dans la province du Nord-Kivu, en République démocratique du Congo, le 7 février 2017. / The Intensive Therapeutic Nutritional Unit of the pediatric department of the Mweso General Hospital, managed by Médecins Sans Frontières, at the border between the Masisi and Rutshuru territories in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on February 7th, 2017.
This fenced off area of the exhibit showed how cholera victims are handled. In a tent on a cot with a hole in the middle and pumped full of saline solution. I'll spare you the details. Much like the movie The Painted Veil. The victim just has to survive the 72 hours it takes the bacteria to ravage the body. It ain't pretty and prompted me to put a $20 donation in the exhibit collection box. Any group willing to treat cholera in the field like this is a better man/woman than me.
Forced From Home highlights the circumstances that push people to leave their homes. Visitors must choose what belongings they'd bring if they had to flee in 30 seconds.

I met two ladies dressed in turqouse and they allowed my to take a picture. But they were a little nervous that I talked to them and I believe one of them blushed :)
So I had only one chance - and missed it. I tried to make the best out of it with this b&w picture as a result...
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...
- Unicef
and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.
