Another well-deserved honor for Menlo Park photographer Mark Tuschman, whose sensitive and beautifully lit photos let us peer into worlds we otherwise might never see. He won this year's photography contest held by the Global Health Council, an alliance of health-care groups and other professionals. There were 550 entries from various lands.A set of three photos drew the honors. Above is an image from Bangladesh, where Mark saw many young mothers who seemed totally detached from their newborns. Here, a nurse cares for a baby while the mother sits in the back alone.
Mark, whom I interviewed last year, is a quiet, thoughtful sort with a tremendous social conscience. He's found a way to balance his day job as a commercial photographer with his own creative projects: He travels a few times a year for nonprofits that help the poor, recording the effects of the programs. He took this photo for EngenderHealth, a reproductive-health organization. Check out his blog for some thoughts on microfinance in the developing world.
