Helping others see the ways in which we're similar, and not different

Riding local transport!

To see the world, to collect stories, to take pictures

Before I die I'd like to:

Visit all the continents, be published in National Geographic, make a small difference in the world

Let's collaborate:

I'm a photographer who wants to use his work to make a difference, not a profit. I am looking to work with NGOs and non-profits that are humanitarian in nature, and are focusing on poverty, famine, disease, war/conflict, etc. and could use some good images
