These are really fantastic photos. I really love the way they reveal the people as they are and don't objectify them as Poor Starving Helpless Africans. Brava!

What a tragedy Darfur is and you have shown mostly the better sides of this impoverished land of refugees.I'm not sure how you happened to be here(certainly not on any tourism brochure)but thank you for showing a glimpse of life here.Big vote!
