"Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on… Reading is grist. Reading is bliss."
– Nora Ephron

I had photographed AIDS patients before, but this assignment was different. It offered me the chance to see the positive results of the new AIDS treatments when this family invited me into their lives.
Tiep had a breakfast stall in the market that was her family’s main source of income. But once people learned that her husband, Khanh, had AIDS, many of them stopped buying food from her. Yet Khanh represents the positive side of the AIDS story; he’s now recovering and knows it wouldn’t have turned out this way had he not received free treatment.
Many of us are in a position to help others, but few of us are aware of that we can do – or what a difference our contribution can make. I hope my photographs help people become more informed and find a way to contribute.

Shoeshine boy in Lhasa, Tibet.
Working on the street, he pauses for a moment to see if I want more than just a photograph. The numbered box indicates that he is part of a bigger operation of vendors canvassing the city in search of customers.
