Photography for Social Change

I have to admit that it feels a little weird to be writing about myself and putting it up for anyone to see. But I guess that this is what is called for so here goes….  I am passionate about many things, most of which are represented by wiserearth. I suppose the common denominator would be change, cultural, ecological, personal, how they are linked and how a change for the better can be supported.

My life has always been somewhat of a surprise to me, perhaps because I’ve rarely known exactly what I wanted to do, only that I wanted to help. So it feels like my work has serendipitously pulled me in numerous directions; youth work, the entertainment industry, national events, health and nutritional products, mythology and the works of Joseph Campbell, and documentary films about the environment. It’s been quite a ride, I’ve learnt a tremendous amount and picked up a few skills along the way as a writer, businessperson and film-maker. More than that I’ve learnt to trust and to realize that the world isn’t as dark and crazy as a lot of people appear to believe. For me its been a journey into myself, my heart and mind and the realization that we are supported in a million ways to partake in a change that is too big for one person to ever fully grasp. I’m grateful to be even a tiny part of that.
