Current Projects
One of the fascinating attributes of any culture is how they treat their animals. I have been exploring and documenting the selective compassions of humanity, and the bonds they create, all over the world. Along these lines, I have also documented some of the Dalai Lama's influence in inspiring compassion in all people.
