Last Wednesday ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya spoke at GW. I had the opportunity to cover the event after following the coup all summer. The event was half press conference, half political talk. To be brief, the guy should be let back into his country.

Interestingly after making the portrait he schooled me on photography. Recanting the good old days when photographers worked on pure calculation and technique, non of the screens or automatic cameras....
