It's a sad day that Molly Holt passed away. She dedicated her entire life to helping orphans and Korea. When her father and mother felt they needed to provide medical care, she went to nursing school and got a degree and returned to Korea to help the sick and needy. She lived in Ilsan where she continued to care for the less fortunate. The Holt organization was formed because there was no one helping Korean orphans. Without the efforts of Molly and her entire family, I and many others would have had a very different life. I am grateful for their help. I send my condolences. Molly, Rest In Peace. Thank you, Dan  https://www.holtinternational.org/magazine/2013/07/17/the-woman-with-miraculous-tears/

Hello Seoul Eaters. Lately I've had the fortunate opportunity to photograph the moment adopting parents meet and pick up their new children here in Seoul. As you know our site founder Daniel is an adoptee so he's asked me to share my work. It's been very interesting, rewarding, and emotionally charged work. The process takes around two years and I just get the apex of a two year build up of emotion, expectation, excitement, and nervousness. All that spills out in a one hour meeting where the new parents finally meet a child they've only read about and seen pictures of, and the foster parents give up a child they've spent years caring for and getting to know. Needless to say there are tears on all sides, and thankfully I'm not in any of the pictures because I'd be embarrassing. The pictures in the small room with big windows are the initial meeting, and the outdoor shots are post-adoption family shoots. Enjoy. For more photos check out my site .
