American mission

Tecún Umán, Guatemala – May 2011

A young Honduran immigrant, having his arm amputated by a train during his previous attempt to get illegally to the United States, smokes marijuana on the bank of Suchiate river on the Guatemala-Mexico border, while making this life's dangerous journey for the third time consecutively.

The work on a photo essay, showing the cruel journey of immigrants from Central America to the US, is in progress.
