More to know: Each journey I take is preceded by months of reading about the destination, the ` country; its history, culture and customs. My doctorate in education has left an indelible mark on how I prepare for travel - how I see the world. I arrive with my cameras and the hopes of a cultural anthropologist. I find it necessary to immerse myself in the culture in order to capture moments in time that reflect the essence of the place and the dignity of its people.
I am always most taken by the women. I am drawn in by our similarities – by all that we share as mothers, grandmothers, wives, and caregivers – the way we adorn ourselves – the unique role that friendship plays in our lives. Photographs of my family accompany me on each journey and are always a source of great interest as are my large clip-on earrings that fascinate the women. Without a mutual language, we connect by trying on each other’s jewelry and marveling at each other’s children.
