a blog about being a lorax to the world. a lorax is anyone/anything that stands as an advocate. the lorax is literally a smallish, brownish creature from Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. He "speaks for the trees, for the trees have no tongues". the ending quote always resonates with my humanitarian efforts, "unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot; nothing's going to get better. its not."

Being a Lorax
i try to be a lorax. i speak for things that cannot speak for themselves, or as my website suggests, i am a "visual advocate for social justice". i am a humanitarian photographer, but behind all the photography, i am simply a missionary. here is a little slice of my life, in front of the camera instead of behind. i strive to help people and i feel my greatest contribution will be through my photography. i can tell their stories through my photographs and tell of situations that would otherwise remain silent and forgotten. i am a humanitarian, and a photographer and by combining those (2 of the most important aspects of my life), i become a humanitarian photographer. a lorax.
