| Introduction | I've been a photojournalist for the last twenty years or so. Since 2001 I've been able to work on photo stories around the world with a emphisis on area's of war, conflict and natural disasters. Four years ago I helped found a non-profit by the name of Fifty Lanterns International. Through Fifty Lanterns we provide solar lighting to those most in need around the world. I tend to live close to the edge and left of center, but my feet are firmly planted in reality. I had a solution to a problem and the energy to move it forward with the support and faith of many friends and family. I am blessed. |

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?
I would watch the stars until they sang me to sleep.
