Resources | People and Organizations who have helped me over the years

I do not do this work alone. There are countless people, from amazing translators and guides to generous grantees, who have not only given me opportunities but have also been there to offer a smile and encouragement as I’ve pursued my work. I hope they can help you as much as they have helped me. I am including a list of grants, fellowships and contests that I hope will help you along your own path in photography and story telling. Feel free to contact me if I can assist you with finding translators and assistants in the regions I’ve worked.
