CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life and getting ready for canoeing in Sweden...

ABOUT ME

I'm a photojournalist with an MA from the Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia. Visit my portfolio at http://www.jakob-berr.com. My fiancé Beth and I love to travel and meet all kinds of people. We're passionate outdoors people and prefer a bad night's sleep in the woods to a good night's sleep in the city. Work keeps us in the city though (for now), but we try to get out as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Wouldn't be able to put that into words. But for me, it's all about honesty, fairness and trust.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The world (at least a little bit of it)!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love my profession (photojournalism) and can go on talking about it forever. I also know quite a bit about Bangladesh and India from staying there for almost a year and a half. Through my job at the newspaper, I'm more or less informed about what's going on in the world. I'm curious to learn about pretty much everything and it's easy to find a conversation topic with me.
