"For two critical years (1978-80) CETA allowed me to earn a living pursuing my passion for photography. The job freed me from financial stress as I was starting a family, and introduced me to a number of lifelong friends. I perfected my craft and learned to solve problems, which led to a long career."Portrait of artist Adal Maldonado, 2007](https://acurator.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/George-Malave-Adal.jpg)
