Came across this screen grab from a video the other day. Two really brave guys, both Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) survivors—both blind and missing both hands. They were part of a peer-to-peer project I filmed in Laos way back in 2015. Check it out here.

Tribute To FB, In Client’s Home
I really enjoy it when a client sends me a photo of my work hanging in their home—especially a home in which I have very fond memories.

New Gallery: Through the Infirmary
I’ve been working on some past projects that didn’t make it onto the website. Here is one from the Xamtai Hospital and health centers, in and around Xamtai, Laos. I was photographing on a project with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders for the Americans). Link to portfolios here.
