A Vietnamese woman cares for her son who is dying of cancer. The family had been geopolitically split years earlier. Upon being reunited she learned her son is dying of cancer. She insisted I be in the room as she put him to bed.

For me this very much echos the famous photograph by Eugene Smith of Tomoko and Mother in Bath. Every bit as powerful as well. Amazing work.
Thank you Michael. I have been heavily influenced by the masters of early photojournalism. For instance, the Biker Girl image was influenced by Mary Ellen Mark. I was thrilled when it received a second place in an exhibition she juried for Center For Fine Art Photography.
