Good, Compounded
…each October, they are pretty much unreal. The first weekend of this month I had a shoot in Vail and could not resist hiking up the slopes with my trusty Nikon F5 film camera and shooting a few rolls of these stunning creatures shedding their skins. If you ever get the chance to go there that time of year, take it.

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:
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.
On a recent assignment to Kenya for Compassion International, I wrote a story about how a Coke bottle is the conduit for life. Check out pages 12-14 of their most recent magazine.
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!
