Taking a break from the LA/glamorous photos - Do you ever find yourself missing situations you never thought you would? I keep thinking back to my time in a Syrian refugee camp in Greece. It was a somewhat strange, forlorn place constantly torn between despair and hope.

And yet I find myself wanting to go back sometimes. I felt that what I was doing had meaning, that I was in a position where I could help people. I could bring them food and toys or simply help them tell their story in the only ways I know how - with my writing and camera.

On the day pictured, I gave four Syrian kids my camera to take photos, and we ended up photographing each other. Those children always made me feel so welcome and managed to constantly lift peoples' spirits in the strange environment of the refugee camp. I hope they and their families find a new and better life soon.
