Help for Undocumented Haitians

My photo ran along with a story on January 29th about the NY Bar Association providing free legal aid on taking advantage of Obama's temporary protected status for undocumented Haitians. It was a challenging shoot as I wasn't allowed to show the faces of any undocumented people.
