David has been an inspiration, both for the intense beauty of his work and his commitment to using the medium to support disadvantaged people and promote social change. To see his photos, click here.

I prefer the black and white. My eye stays with in their faces, exploring details and receiving a sense of their humanity with no distraction from color. My eye tended to wander more in the color versions.
