Description

I am an artist/activist who’s been documenting the immigration crisis on the Arizona/Sonora border since 2002. That year I began noticing the dramatic increase in migrant deaths in Arizona and became aware of humanitarian efforts by HUMANE BORDERS & SAMARITANS to save innocent lives. I began volunteering with them and for NO MORE DEATHS when it formed. Thus I am able to directly participate in life saving efforts and continue exercising my passion for documentary photography inspired by my mentors Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans and Russell Lee. Their compelling photographs in the 1930s & 1940s showed destitute American migrants struggling to survive. That work helped change public sentiment & government policies. It is my hope that the photographs and information in this calendar will inspire social action leading to humane immigration policies that eliminate suffering and death along the migrant trail. Partial proceeds benefit Arizona humanitarian efforts.
