Once she shoots, changes that cause more shooting will require another set of equipment rentals. She has already walked the poorest part of El Amatillo and interviewed a mother of two girls that attend school. Ms. Valleho is a published author and gave me a small paper bound book of poetry that she wrote. She also brought a photograph portfolio. If we decide to pursue this project, she is the one to do the work for us. I believe her when she says she is discounting her fee because she ... Read More »
