India | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

I’m an artist – Poet, Hip-Hop artist, Interdisciplinary Artist. I love travel & Photography, I got serious about it when I bought my Canon SX10 in 2009. I’m a self-taught Photographer who’s made great progress since, with the ability to critique my work, but need help from an experienced, professional Photographer/Mentor to further advance my Photography.

I also know the limitations of my camera well, & would love to work with another camera/s for a while preferably under the guidance of someone like Jason. I appreciate his specific, targeted, concentrated approach to Photography & it as an Art form.
I have skill, a unique eye for photography, and vision. I have a strong passion for people, cultures & traversing through the multi layers of this planet through my love for Anthropology, Linguistics, Humanity, Spirituality & making sense of this world & our place in it by exploring as many elements of it as possible. I have a passion for showcasing diversity, cultures, places, people etc rarely shown, little or not known about, with a particular interest in Aboriginal/Indigenous communities, minorities/social & environmental justice, dying/extinct cultures & languages.

I’m an activist/campaigner for human/environmental rights & justice. I believe my artistic knack & need to contribute work of benefit/value to humanity & the world will allow me to be an exceptional Photo Journalist & Travel Photographer.
