- Walking down a main street in Addis, I met this young caracter. We started talking and soon became friends. One day, he invited me to his home to try some famous Ethiopian coffee, prepared traditionally. As I drank cup after cup of exquisite, freshly roasted coffee, this scene emerged in front of me. In a way it described my experience of Ethiopia, and other African nations I had worked in: a rapidly changing, dynamic world where tradition and modernity struggle to coexist.

- This is the first photo that I took of my friend, Robert, when he got back from serving in Afghanistan for one year. He didn't talk much. We just sat together, and he showed me what he was feeling when I put my camera in front of him. He was humble. He didn't complain, but only filled the room with his experience of wearing combat boots, and carrying a gun to work everyday. He drinks a lot now, but I guess he always did.

- A day outing to the Devil’s Glen. I decided to shoot a roll of film for a simple short story. Although I could use 5 images to illustrate the day, this one image really said it all.

- The Kara women collect the water, cook for family, harvest the fields, make the clothing, and are the backbone of the tribe. This elderly woman was the only white-haired person I came in contact with. I tried desperately to get a pleasing portrait and caught her hands in my peripheries; the perfect symbol of the woman's role in tribal society in the Omo River Valley. Her bracelets are made from salvaged AK-47 shell casings, a symbol in itself for the cyclic theme of war and revenge between the Kara and the neighboring tribe, the Nyangatom.

- Man's snake dance on Rah island, Motalava island in Banks islands are very famous in Vanuatu. It was very hard to take shot while they were dancing, but there are a moment of slow motion movement between dances. They colored their bodies in black and white stripe like sea snake, and use vines as head gear and a leaf in their mouth, lip tight. This dance was performed at beach, ocean in the back ground.

- Sam Marschall breaks through the wave after dolphining behind it in the remote South Australian outback. Using the underwater pull from the breaking wave he surfed the wave underwater before kicking free as the wave crested to launch himself into the 'flats' of the wave. Moments after this photo was taken the wave crashed on top of him, pinning him to the sand. Photographer Mark Tipple captured the image while working on The Underwater Project.

- A child laborer in a black paint factory in Dhamrai, Bangladesh, wearing a makeshift cloth mask in a worthless effort to protect himself from the hazardous nano-particles. Despite the continuous effort from the journalists and activists, the issue of eliminating child labor seems like a lost battle in Bangladesh. Captured from Dhamrai, Bangladesh on December 30, 2010.
