Many poignant ways have been found to express the cost of wartime deployment on the families left behind. Few have affected me as immediately as a moment in “The Home Front” when 12-year-old Isaac Eisch almost lets down his brave-soldier demeanor as he speaks of his father, Sgt. First Class Brian Eisch, who is half a world away in Afghanistan.

I love old photos. I know I’m a nosy photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for those old photos. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… A year ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.

The grant of $10,000, half from the WHNPA and a matching amount of $5,000 from PNY Technologies Inc., will fund her project to examine and raise awareness on the health implications of adolescent childbearing in rural India. Every minute a woman dies from pregnancy-related causes according to The United Nations Population Fund. In developing countries maternal mortality is the leading cause of death for women of reproductive age. But when the mother is under the age of 15, she is five times more likely to die in pregnancy or childbirth than a woman in her 20’s. Girls 15 to 19 are twice as likely to die in pregnancy
