title
Suri Family in the Omo Valley
My earliest memories are of spinning a globe, always drawn to the last mysterious corners of the world. I am interested in the different ways in which people find meaning in their lives, and how an individual explores his or her existence through their traditions. I am looking for the grace notes, for the sense of wonder in our world and in our connections to each other I love the still quality of a photograph that captures a fleeting moment in time. We are still and still moving.
