One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i’ve documented social movements and important historical moments with my camera. i love getting to know people through documentary process, and teaching kids how to use cameras to make films!!

i also climbed mt kilimanjaro when i was 16 :~}

Teach, Learn, Share

i make art (paint, draw, sing, etc) and like reading philosophy, if you happen to be interested in either of those two things, i would love to do them/talk about them together. i play the guitar and could teach you some chords if you have a guitar. but along the lines of me getting along with any person, i really just like hearing someone's worldview--who they are, where they grew up, what they think about different things. i like the big questions a lot.
