My
vision is to travel around the world and to document
the people of the earth. I believe that my photographs
embrace the true spirit of people's hearts.
When
I travel I take at least a hundred of my favorites photographs
from each country that I have visited to share with
people. I use the images to show the spirits of people
and also to build bridges, to teach about similarities
and differences, and to give back to my community and
the Universe.
I
love most of all sharing my photographs with the people
whom I have honored with my camera's eye. To share the
work with the ones that are unable to get to a museum,
a gallery or even a cafe, where getting a newspaper,
a magazine or even a book, is not taken for granted.
I love the reaction, the amazement and disbelief that
comes from them when they see people like themselves
in other parts of the world. It could occur under a
spice tree in Africa, in the bush with the Aborigines
of Australia, near the rice fields in Bali, by the waterfalls
in Jamaica, on a crowded train in India or to the elderly
having their morning coffee in a McDonald's in New Orleans.
