Via Exodus, I found the photography of Dulce Pinzon, and her “Real Life of Superheros” photography collection. The exhibit showing Latin American immigrants in their everyday lives in jobs that are often overlooked… with a twist that highlights their important work and contributions.

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

I recently watched a film (J’taime Paris? Can’t remember) which was a series of vignettes. One of the most moving depicted a woman leaving her infant, traveling a long way from the outskirts of the city to her job as a nanny, and callously being told that she needed to stay late. Period. Very wrong.
I relish the irony in Ms. Pinzon’s concept.
