These are killer shots Alek. The softness of the Holga and the harshness of the flash somehow make one more aware of their plight….I know these guys want a better life but it does make you wonder how bad life has to be to leave everything behind – perhaps even wife and kids.
Great stuff, you should try to get more….mojito courage sounds like the way to go!

Alek, ’tis good to see that you’ve posted your photos of the refugees, along with something about their situation. What got to me when you and I talked about them (and what still does) is that some of them who come over have no idea where they are nor how distant it is from where they think they are or want to be. I think of that as I gaze at the photos.
