    Drawing instead of writing, an idea from HONY...

    Here is the link to a Humans of New York (HONY) portrait
    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater
    The included caption: "He was away for almost four years during the war. When he wrote me letters, he was never allowed to tell me where he was. So he'd draw cartoons to help me guess."

    Brandon (aka HONY photographer) has taken some great photographs of people who have been or are in LDRs. They usually speak a bit about it in his captions. This woman's story of her life, including her late-husband Moe, is beautiful.

    Thank you so much for sharing. HONY usually makes me cry so much and this story is no exception.
    So, here you are
    too foreign for home
    too foreign for here.
    Never enough for both.

        I just spent some time here. If you click the featured portraits tab at the top, you get lots of very awesome photos. This is truly art. Most have comments, and they are great to read. I loved the one with guy that drives a taxi in Tehran. If you haven't checked it out, please do.
