The first in ZUMA Press' BEARING WITNESS Book Series : In Colin Finlay's Testify , the life of a driven photojournalist is revealed in almost equal measure to the lives of those he portrays. Facing head-on the conflicts around the world and their aftermath, famine and disease-ridden people, children in prison and indentured, the photographer's persona begins to emerge as clearly as the stories he is seeking to tell. In his poignant opening, Finlay writes, "I embraced the road, and when I looked back, it was too late...my wife was gone and so was my past."
