Where There is Land, There is Life

Earlier this year I had the honor of traveling with Agros International to Guatemala and Nicaragua to film stories about how they are helping poor farmers become land owners–and have a chance for a future free from poverty. I have to admit, I LOVE this model of development. It far surpasses the benefits of traditional aid-related help. It doesn’t lead people into dependency; it frees them. Please watch Serbando’s story–this is the kind of stuff people working in development need to be doing!

What, prefer stills? That’s cool too. Here is a short slideshow from Guatemala…

…and one from Nicaragua:



The Story of Suhana — A Ray of Hope

Last year I traveled to India with International Justice Mission to shoot a film about sex trafficking and rescue. It turned out to be an epic experience and film. You can watch Ray of Hope below or on the IJM Ray of Hope page.

 

The IJM Mobile App

I love working with International Justice Mission. When they came out with a new mobile app–the first of its kind in the non-profit world–and called to make them a short ad, it was an easy decision to say yes. Check it out!

Want to download the app? Give it a try–it’s pretty cool and I’d highly recommend it!

Karli and Zack set the Kiana Lodge on Fire

I don’t shoot many weddings, and if I do it’s more often than not that I’m asked to do video. That’s what I did with dear friend Karli Johnson and her fiance, Zack Zarcone this past weekend in Seattle. But along the way I snapped a few stills using a D3 and 16mm f2.8 lens that Nikon send me to try out. Way to go Karli and Zack–you two pulled of the most glamorous rehearsal dinner and wedding that I think I have ever been involved in (with the exception of my own). Love to you both!
