Day 29~ June 29th~ Xinjiang
All humans on this planet are created with the same basic design, spirit, soul, mind, brain, body, emotions, senses… all are born and all will eventually pass on. Thoughts like these make me see people differently while traveling in strange places. The knowledge that we are all human, that we all get sad, we get…

Day 19~ June 19th~ Xinjiang
A dew drop on a fresh flower petal at dawn radiates a beauty beyond anything we humans can create… The concept of beauty is a funny one. What is considered beautiful in one culture can be completely unattractive in another. In China where we live, big noses are considered attractive, while tan skin is not,…

With this image and post I come to a close with the month fo May and the journey into the Kingdom of Cambodia, a journey filled with smiles, seriousness, inspiration, happiness and a very sad recent history. I hope I was able to pass along just how wonderful that part of the world is, how…

Day 19~ April 19th~ Congo
A small boy, on the run from Rwanda, pausing in a medical center in Goma, hiding behind the folds of a UNICEF tent, his life will never be the same again… While days before he was just a little boy, living in a village, part of a family, living a somewhat normal life, today he…

Day 18~ April 18th~ Congo
Being born into conflict, struggling to survive, finding themselves short of even the most basic of life’s necessities; what kind of future are these children looking forward to having?
