mother and son
hospital audiences inc (hai), a non-profit organization, brought a group of soldiers wounded in iraq up to new york city for a weekend out on the town. i had a chance to tag along, meet with the soldiers, their family members and loved ones, and capture photos of the day. it's been a remarkable experience to hear people's stories, to talk and connect, and to see faces light up as people get a chance to do things they might not otherwise do.
friday's journey included a cruise on the world yatch down pass the statue of liberty and around the island of manhattan. it was a superbly beautiful day, sunny and breezy, perfect for capturing memories. later in the evening, there was a welcoming reception for the soldiers at the museum of the city of new york.
more goings-on tomorrow and sunday, though i'll only be around for the rest of tomorrow's events. i'm looking forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow.
