The Photographer


I am a junior in Winthrop House concentrating in government. I was born in Bulgaria in 1984, and I spent the first twenty years of my life in my home town Haskovo. I graduated from Prof.Dr.Assen Zlatarov Foreign Language School in 2003, and then came to the United States to pursue a degree in political theory and international relations. Before I developed an interest in photography, I played basketball for the local town team, but an injury precluded my further growth in the sport. My engagement with the kids living in the orphanage began five years ago. After the untimely death of my sister in 2000, I started doing community work in an attempt to direct the attention of the community to the problems of those in need. The photo exhibit eyes.of.grief will not be the first fundraising campaign I do for the institution, but hopefully it will be as productive as the previous events I have organized for my little friends.
