The Daily Beast included an article about the Man Vs Wild Lifesong Wilderness Adventures and published one of my photos from that 1859 Magazine shoot. I highly recommend attending one of these workshops! Get your groove on while trying to survive with just a piece of flint and one knife. Brutal!

Yesterday’s Hero Wall Celebration was a heart-thumping event. It was so great to see all of the families together, and to hear great music, watch the kids get their faces painted and rejoice in some health improvements. It is a true honor to be work with these families. Huge THANK YOU to Pro Photo Supply and George McGinnis for donating the file prep and printing of the wall, and to DigiCraft for mounting the prints.

A father’s emotion:
And there is a serious side to the day as well. This is not a typical “happy” photo from the festivities, but I am sure this little girl has many questions in her mind.

It is a very odd feeling to be sitting in a hotel in NYC and see my images in the background in Mercy Corps’ headquarters in Gaza. I hesitate to feel good about such a thing when the country is in such peril, but I heard that the images brighten people’s lives there. So I am honored to be a teeny tiny part of effort in that area of our world.
Here is what the Mercy Corps’ video/media director had to say about the photos:
You should know that Christiane asked me where the photos were taken and she really liked them–I mean she totally commented on them and she was not exactly forthcoming in praise on much! So huge kudos to you!!!! Now the hard question.. the country director here (who is an amazing woman from Gaza who ran the office through the war while 4 months pregnant and kept the aid moving…) is in love with your photos. If I left them here she would be incredibly happy. What do you say? GORGEOUS Pics. And know you just made the whole Gaza team really happy!!
And to think that I have a hard time transporting these huge images just through town…and they look like they made the trip all the way to Gaza in great shape! I hope they do brighten the walls during such difficult circumstances.
Here is a link to the CNN story
And many thanks to Pro Photo Supply for donating the printing of the images!
