Rebecca who lives in Alip Village, use to drink some of the nastiest water I’ve ever seen in my life. She showed me a small brown
hole about a foot wide in the ground. I reached down with a plastic bottle to get some of the water out. The smell was wretched.
I almost gaged. The bottle I lifted out was full of movement – big worms, tiny worms, sticks and smelled like a toilet. The odor
stayed on my hands the entire day, even after I washed them several times. I am SO THANKFUL that Rebecca has a water well in
her village now. You can help so many more get clean water -
I am so excited to be sharing at Echo Conference in Dallas, Texas this year. I will be doing a breakout session on Humanitarian Photography called
“A Different Kind of Picture”
How easy is it to get wrapped up in a person’s circumstance and forget to engage in their story? Images have the capability to convey meaning, compel thought and create movement. In this session, we will discuss Humanitarian Photography and how we can be a voice for those who need to be heard.
click on the image below and take some time checking out the speakers. This is a conference you will love! With Keynote speakers: Don Miller,Jonathan Acuff, Todd Wagner, and Dan Merchant, you can’t go wrong.
I can’t wait to reconnect with everyone there and meet many of you for the first time!
charity: water just launched the story of one of the best days in my life. I traveled back to Murinja with @beckystraw & @moscarpelli
in April and we found Jean Bosco and the 2 year old water well still pumping clean water for the whole village. It was so joyous!
So grateful to charity: water for sharing this story with the world. My dream is that through this story many more villages
around the world will receive the gift of clean water just like Murinja did.
I’m coffee addict. It’s true. I have searched the world far and wide to find my favorite coffees. While Ethiopian coffee remains one of
my top favs, I truly believe the best coffee in the world is found in Jinja, Uganda at a little place called the Source Cafe
(you can also buy the whole bean at Entebbe International Airport) If you ever find yourself there, look for KIRA KAWA coffee. You won’t regret it! Matt Chambers from Safe Water Nexus recently traveled to Uganda and went all the way to Jinja to get me a few pounds…Can’t wait to make some.
As many of you know, I’m a big supporter of Adorama Camera Store.
Here is a few reasons why I buy equipment from them:
1. They have only the BEST customer service in the world
2. Joel Meisels – Yes, I’ve actually met the amazing Social Media Guru himself. Only an email a way to assist with any questions you have.
3. They have a great selection of the best equipment that is pretty much always in stock.
4. They have free shipping on 7-10 delivery and orders are always shipped promptly.
Am I the only one who doesn’t like listening to my own voice? I have hesitated to post this Podcast for a while now because I didn’t have the guts to listen to it myself. When I got back from Haiti in late March, Adorama asked me to do a podcast for their Techtock. Really had a great time talking with Jack Howard about Humanitarian Photography and my heart behind what I do.
I hope you enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts…I still haven’t listened to it.
