Hopital Albert Schweitzer, Haiti
While on the topic of Hospitals, I feel compelled to share with you the story of another truly amazing hospital, this one, in Haiti. Back in 2001 I shot a job for Health Volunteers Overseas. One of the locations that I photographed was HAS or Hopital Albert Schweitzer(yes, it’s Hopital not Hospital). HAS was started […]
Angkor Hospital For Children, Cambodia
Yes it’s true, just last month I posted about Angkor Hospital for Children, but I’m posting again for two reasons. First, because their 2008 Annual Report just came out, full of images that I captured while shooting their story for Town and Country Magazine earlier this year. And secondly, because Friends Without a […]
PADF: The Pan American Development Foundation:
Over the last 8 years I’ve done quite a bit of work for The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF), shooting for them in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Cuba, so I’m going to take this opportunity to highlight them in my blog today. PADF is a non-government humanitarian aid organization that works to empower […]
Packing for a trip:
People often ask what supplies and equipment I take with me on my travels. So, here we go…I’m going to break it down for you into three parts. The following describes absolutely everything that I bring on a trip, down to the smallest item. This list is the result of a re-examination of the contents […]
Cambodia: 30 Years After the Genocide:
Cambodia has a special place in my heart. I work there often, shooting stories for my NGO clients and also visit as part of an annual photo tour I lead. So, I always log on to the Phnom Penh Post to see what’s up and check on news about the ongoing trial of […]
The Philippines: Massacre in Mindanao
Yesterda, I blogged about my work documenting human trafficking in The Philippines, and today I woke to news about a masacre in Mindanao. To say the least, I was saddened to hear about the recent violence there. News agencies report that more than 45 people were killed in the remote town of Datu Abdullah Sanki […]
Human Trafficking
I’ve recently returned from four months worth of assignments and people have been asking me what types of stories I was shooting for my NGO clients (Non-Government Organizations). So, why not use the blog to explain…..In August I was in the Philippines working for two different NGOs one for a story revolving around the […]
Desperation
Last night, while driving home, I saw a man in the median holding a cardboard sign which read “Homeless Veteran: Need Money, Please Help”. I immediately though about a family that I encountered in Myanmar two months ago. Since I travel extensively in the developing world I’ve grown accustomed to people asking for “donations”. I […]
My Experience with the new Cotton Carrier Holster System
For the longest time, I’ve been looking for a “waist/holster” camera carrying system that would allow me to carry my cameras “naked”, allowing immediate, easy access. Last July, prior to leaving for four month’s worth of assignments in Asia, I spoke with Andy Cotton, the inventor of the Cotton Carrier. Andy was launching a camera […]
