I'm a professional photograper... I did a dozen selfies earlier today... Shattered so many assumptions in the process. Winning...

Follow your heart in Photography or what ever you're doing. "If Your Heart's not in it it's Probably Not Worth Doing" So True.

Bravo, so little is understood about reality. People in our own country don't know the real truth about their home land. Photo journalism is the best way to show them.

Aaron I saw you on TED.com [I Think] and talking about the gross injustice that has been done to the native american, this has always bothered me, as a child, watching wagon train, gunsmoke, bonanaza the indians always lost [there was 1 or 2 lone ranger that were pro native american] I would voice my concern to the family and Mum would say it is just TV!| I have had to work on keeping myself together, I have a damaged spine, panic attacks and chronic pain| Aaron you are doing so much good- I hope you can keep balance in your life! your work is so important, Do you follow the Lakota? I have an artist of Lakota decent from a link from the TED talk. Thank You again!
