After 3 months worth of assignments and photo tours in Southeast Asia, I arrived to a rather large pile of snail mail which had accumulated in my absence.

Seva Cambodia: Restoring Sight To The Blind
This week I’m in northwestern Cambodia, shooting a job for the Seva. The first time I shot for Seva, was back in 2004. Now almost a decade later I’m delighted to see that their programs have expanded and are flourishing here. I am equally happy to blog about Seva, so that you can understand a [...]

NGO Assignment: The Asia Foundation, Sri Lanka, Continued…
I’m going to post some shots today; nothing specific to any Asia Foundation programs, but rather, some fun shots of life in Sri Lanka.

NGO Assignment: The Asia Foundation, Promoting Peace in Sri Lanka

To be sustainable, projects in countries like Sri Lanka must be based on “local efforts”. The Asia Foundation’s program of helping the police to integrate with the [...]

Polio has been eradicated in the USA, due to an aggressive and effective vaccination program which started years ago, but [...]
