ZIMBABWE. Chiweshe. November, 2012. The Salvation Army transferred than later dismissed the Howard Hospital Chief Medical Officer. His loss, whatever the real reasons for his departure, leave a large number of people in the hospital catchment area vulnerable or worse. Foreign aid has left. Patients refuse to go to the hospital; they want their doctor. This is a portrait series of people I met over the years or ones the doctor recommended I visit. All are deeply affected by this "normal" transfer of a cherished doctor.

The Howard Hospital is a rural mission hospital located in Zimbabwe. The Hospital is overrun by patients due to nation wide hospital closings in December 2008. The Howard is in a rural area and hunger is mounting due to a long drought and the time of the year. The situation is exacerbated by a collapsing economy and a national unity government political dispute.

"Kenya: How is Your Condition?" is an essay from the archive. The earliest photos are from my first trip to Africa in 1985 which whetted my appetite for sub-Saharan Africa which continues to this day. The bulk of the photos were made in 1997. I like to think of these as my hommage to Cartier-Bresson -- he was definitely on my mind. The visit to the Dadaab Refugee Camps opened my eyes to social themes which I explore to this day.
