PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT In a world where images make all of us real time witnesses to events world wide, those images have become documents of history. They are, as they always were, critical to that history. As we see disasters, manmade or natural, there is very little time to see the response to those problems. It has been my goal for the last ten years to document the response to those problems, especially for the United Nations and very particularly for the UN World Food Program, which my wife headed for those ten years. I also tried to peek into different cultures with an eye toward the common emotions we humans share. It has been thrilling to meet and photograph so many wonderful faces and scenes and to walk through so many different countries. I hope as you look at the images here you will see a bit more of how this world looks and lives.
