I'm no fan of the UN, which is clear to anybody who's spent some time reading my gallery. But there were UN people in the former Yugoslavia who were doing their best to alleviate the plight of the average person. This man was a shining example of goodness. He was the UNHCR's man on the spot and did much to ensure that aid was delivered to people who needed it. That was a tough job because of the ineptitude of the UN higher ups and the criminality of the Serbs and some of the local bosses of the other groups. This is one UN official who really made a difference. Also, this image showcases the incredible quality of Canon's 80-200 f2.8L zoom lens..."the magic drainpipe."
