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."

Focus For Humanity
i am a humanitarian photographer and since that is a little different than most careers, i get really excited when i find other photographers whose passion is to help the less fortunate through their photography. that's why i was so happy when my friend directed me to Focus for Humanity. their main purpose and goal is to connect photographers with non-profits and fund different projects. they supply grants to budding humanitarian photographers and host competitions and fundraising projects for others to raise money. this is exactly the type of organization that i need and i'm so happy i found them. they're all about helping those of us that need a little extra push to begin the process. they are a Lorax for humanitarian photographers.
