"A lion is a
lion, whether a male or a female." "If God did not like beautiful
women, he would not have created them." Kurdish Proverbs
I first visited
the greater Middle East in 1997, and have
since been a very frequent visitor and guest. I am a photographer of cultures,
and my attentions have been absorbed by the Kurdish peoples. My travels among
the Kurds have increasingly become journeys of the camera, heart, and mind.

Hundreds of
thousands of Yezidis are now are refugees, among them good friends of mine. I
recently went back to see them; the reunions were reaffirming.
