You’ll never know that just sitting across a room full of people, I have transformed you into a goddess. A destroyer of despair.

There is no way you are going to be forgiven for blowing up a village and killing a bunch of people.

I want my fellow citizens to wise up and stop falling for [war]. I try with my limited access, I'm not getting into Kabul with a camera, they're not letting me get into Benghazi with a camera. I do what I can with my flimsy American passport and a visa. The photos are a bit more heavy from Southern Sudan and Haiti and Cuba.

One person's roar is another's whine, just as one person's music is another's unendurable noise.

Friends come and go but 200lbs is always 200lbs.

I definitely learned a lesson this time. I know that I can be broken. I am not as tough as I thought. I see it now. At this point, it's the only thing good that came out of all of this. I know myself better now and know what I have to do.

Horror jolts me when I look at one of you and see a pair of beautiful eyes that make me think your mind might contain a world that could hold me as the bolts shake loose and fly from my frame.
