Bangladesh

There is a story in Dhaka about how diplomats who are posted to Bangladesh cry twice. First when they are assigned here, and later when they have to leave. From the moment I arrived in the midst of 15 million people in the heat and dust I couldn't believe how this country could be so inviting.

Canto do Brasil

For many years, Brazil has cast a spell upon me. It's my second home and the place that has nutured so much in me. This multimedia web documentary is an inside/ outside view of a place that I love and includes the work of several leading Brazilian photographers, musicans and writers. Read what the Christian Science Monitor says about the site.

New York: After the Fall

A moving elegy to New Yorkers moving on with their lives amid the physical and emotional wreckage of this earth-shaking event. The Oregonian Critic's Choice gave this web documentary a strong review and hailed it as a "new hope in the cottage industry of tragedy reflections … this is one of the more rewarding post 9/11 enterprises and should not be missed." Writer Tom Vandel, sound designer Heather Perkins and Flash programmer Peter Sylwester all contributed to this project.

Burma: Grace Under Pressure

The raw beauty and relentless struggle of modern Burma, presented in a photo essay of the people, music and voices of this Asian country. After seven years and over one milion viewings, this site continues to attract attention from around the world.

West African Road Trip

A photo-essay about Ghana, Togo and Benin.

Eastern Europe: Visions and Icons

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, I wanted to see how the people of the former Eastern Bloc were doing under their new governments. Traveling through Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, I gathered my impressions on film. Writer Lev Liberman wrote the soulful text that accompanies the images.

Vietnam Journal

What you think you'll get is not always what you get. That age-old lesson was brought home to me during my trip to Vietnam. My preconceptions were vastly different from the experience. First published online in 1995. Revised with CSS in 2003.
