3% Cover the Fee

Should you find my work and this current project meaningful, I kindly ask you consider making a small donation. In an era where it's nearly impossible to earn a living as a freelance photojournalist, misinformation is rampant, and AI is saturating the world with fake imagery, genuine storytelling and visuals are more important than ever. This current project is funded entirely by myself, so any contribution you can make is greatly appreciated.

With gratitude,

I have some good news to share…

This week The International Photography Awards announced this year's winners.  I am pleased to share that work from my current project was recognized in three different categories with four awards. It is an incredible honour and I am extremely grateful.

Three separate series of photos from the project were recognized with four awards:

1st Place - Events: Traditions & Culture

2nd Place - Editorial: Press & Political

Honourable Mention - People: Traditions & Culture

Top 5 Jury Selection - Overall

I appreciate the support I have received along the way from people everywhere.  However, I am especially appreciative to those of you here on Patreon who have shown your support by subscribing as members and have been with me through this journey. It has meant a lot to me as I work to complete this project and I am extremely grateful. Thank you!

I am looking forward to sharing the work publicly for the first time this November. I hope to see some of you there. 

With thanks and appreciation,
