A bit of silence lately on this blog is going to be followed by a flurry. I'm taking sort of a hiatus from my work with GLOBIO to return to photography and videography and hopefully speak to the global issues of clean water access and need. My goal is to say something about water that brings it alive, makes it living water. What I was able to do through Wild Orphans was personalize conservation and our relationship to wildlife (elephants). The water journey has just started - making me rethink everything from travel to photographic equipt. to the larger issue of what water means emotionally to all living creatures. As that journey moves forward I'll share my thoughts here. One facet I am certain of - kids will be at the heart of the project - and for that twist in direction I thank good friend Dr. Ernie Meloche. And that is where this "hiatus" is tangential - since I have never believed photography was an end in itself, rather a vehicle for messaging, sharing, learning, and in the end, hopefully, a call to action - all that the project creates will run downstream through GLOBIO and to children worldwide. More very soon.
