I left my world behind, taking a camera with me to tell a story as I explored new cultures and learned about the world I really knew, and still know, so very little about. My life story is a statement of how beautiful our world is and how lacking it would be without the people we often take for granted. I hope to inspire others to appreciate one another and respect the characters that they would often rather pass judgment on, as well as respecting and loving themselves. I consider it beautiful and often very important to see yourself with respect and to hold the same values towards others.
