Compassion Road

February 24, 2010

After seeing first hand in Tanzania last summer the incredible work that Compassion Road does, I’ve joined their board and they’ve appointed me as their creative director. Besides a cool title : ) this means I’ll be coordinating their annual fundraiser/gallery (keep an eye on my blog for details) and I’ll be documenting their international trips and their domestic hospice work. The work they do is amazing and I couldn’t be more excited to volunteer for them.

Here’s one of my favorite photos from last year’s trip:

New Mexico Road Trip

February 19, 2010

I just got back from a cool road trip around New Mexico with my brother. We drove south from Albuquerque to Lincoln one day and then north to Chaco Canyon the next. Love the light in NM – a big reason so many artists gravitate towards Northern NM.
