I take on stories that stir my passions about the state of humanity and our world, and I deeply believe in the power of storytelling through still and moving images to move hearts I beleive this can be a peacebuilding path and expand understanding/huminazation on . Omar Harmony in Jerusalem once told me in Nov 2023 that it is small stories that will move hearts, I’m driven by this fact: that the work of photojournalists and documentary photographers can have a positive impact on the world. Peoples openness brings with it a tremendous sense of responsibility to tell the truth but to also honor their stories.
