Hi,
We are happy to announce Micah's Faces of the Facebook Revolution, a photo essay from Egypt done for VanityFair.com, was awarded 2nd place in the Editorial: War/Conflict category of the 2011 International Photography Awards

We are busy now planning a return trip to Egypt soon to continue the filming for our documentary. We are also planning Shimaa's trip to the US where she will be speaking with us at the PopTech conference in Maine, and at several universities.
We'll keep you updated on the filming, and Shimaa's US trip.
Thanks again for your support!
Best,
