The Most Important Thing...


"What would you bring with you if you had to flee your home and escape to another country? " 

Brian Sokol is a Award-winning photographer covering global human rights and social issues, based in New York. His latest project - Syrian Refugees - is a second part of an ongoing project that asks refugees "What is the most important thing you brought from home?"

The photos are touching and some are terrific but they all carry the promise of hope, or at least that's how they make me feel.


* "Photos made her nervous. They were always of things that were over with, gone—a moment, a smile, a person, sometimes a whole country"  




* The quote is from a short story by Marjorie Kemper named God's Goodness.
