Profile

Some people are content to sit back and watch the world change. I'm not one of them. For the past three decades, I've crossed continents and cultures in a quest to capture those ordinary moments that give life meaning. From the back streets of Burma and Brazil, to the cracked faces of urban New York, after the fall.

Through photographs & web documentaries I tell stories that illuminate the heart and soul of humanity - focusing on the many faces of emotion that connect us all. The stories begin in the Projects section. Current features include Canto do Brasil, NYC: After the Fall and the Bangladesh Project.

My work has earned three Macromedia "Site of the Day" honors, as well as awards from Apple, CNET, USA Today, and The Christian Science Monitor. Grants have been received from the California Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts and several national foundations. My photographs have appeared in leading magazines internationally.

What's New

In Feb. 2012 I was back in Burma for a month, before the elections. What a difference six months has made. View a photo essay of the work in Foreign Policy Magazine.

I'll be in Cambodia for the month of December 2011 on a Fulbright Specialist Fellowship teaching at the Royal University of Phnom Penh.

An exhibit of my photographs from Bangladesh entitled Everyday Life in a Megacity will be up at the Adell McMillan Gallery at the University of Oregon in Eugene from September 1 till October 31, 2011. I'll be giving an artist's talk on October 6th.

Back from Burma, July 2011- see the blog Myanmar Days from the writer, Linda Sladek.
