Being able to share an experience I have when I encounter someone or thing, so that others can experience it and draw from it. That act of Sharing an Experience. To provide the mechanism for the world to see the daily transformation of people of various cultures through the eyes of the camera, through the voices of the indigenous and through the beauty of God's hand. Over the last few years, my photographic eye has widened. I have documented American iron workers, the backbone of industrial society. I gave cameras to children in the "Expanding My View Program," empowering them to share with the adults around them how they view the world. In India I observed an under-developed nation, its caste system and the struggles of non-profit leaders to champion the cause of the "untouchables," the lowest of the classes. Most recently in remote villages and cities of Africa, I photographed the work of contemporary African sculptors where the pride of each individual1s community was reflected in the sculptors1 work. These vast experiences taught me how profoundly related to people I am. I saw beauty in the simplicity of life. In the poor, I saw great wealth.
