Darjeeling, 2019. An image made yesterday that could be a #throwback of sorts, as I took the same exact frame, focal length the whole nine, nearly twenty five years ago on #kodachrome200. Retracing steps here in the hill station of all hill stations, yet this time with digital cameras and an inimitable toddler in tow. . . #himalayas #peacepagoda #goldenbuddha #nipponzanmyohoji #seetheworld #travelogue #afar

Lumbini Eye Hospital, Nepal 2013. Just turned a corner and there she was. From mine to yours, Happy Holidays one and all. . . #happyholidays
Tibetan Plateau, 2001. Over that summer I traveled overground in #Tibet documenting nomadic traditions and a series of makeshift #sightsaving #eyecamps on the Chukortang plains. We discovered many women like this one, in the prime of their adult lives, who were going #blind from cataracts brought on by excessive exposure to high altitude UV. Thanks to @sevafoundation for unearthing some of the #Fujichrome transparencies from this project and giving them more mileage. . . #thetibetans #nomads #curableblindness #eyephotographer #shotonfilm @nikonusa #travel #himalayas #intofocus #seetheworld @sevafoundation with @get_repost ・・・ In just 15-minutes, a person's life can be changed forever with #cataract surgery.

One thing you can’t say about India is that it lacks color. Portraits I made in various locations throughout Uttar Pradesh while #onassignment in 2016. #Repost @qatarcreatingvision with @get_repost ・・・ Every child has the potential to change the world! Through the @qatar_fund we’re able to reach children struggling with their vision across India and Bangladesh and provide them with the glasses and treatment they need to finish their homework, to learn from their teachers and to play with their friends, without an eye condition blocking their progress. We are grateful to all of our partners for their amazing support which helps us to achieve so much. Thank you for helping us make dreams come true. #dreambig #india #bangladesh #vision #glasses #education #future @qcharity @qatarairways @oryxrotana @wishqatar @thecreativeunion #instagood @orbisintl
Temporarily lost track of the number of times I’ve jumped on a work trip flight to #Peru, but leaving behind this little escape artist in the here and now is admittedly a tall order. . #daddydiaries #momsrock #onassignment #seetheworld #itswhatido #photographer #eyes #savesight @mrbeetlebug @parekhbugbee
Standout from a recent assignment to Ghana for @heiferinternational. That last minute glow of seemingly modified light that rakes the land before the sun fizzles below the horizon. What the image doesn’t convey is the immense physical work this woman puts into feeding her family. She’d spent the whole day toiling on a smoldering mound of charcoal to sell bags of it along the highway to Accra. . #everydayafrica #socialdoc #onassignment #NGOwork #foodsecurity . #Repost @heiferinternational with @get_repost ・・・ Not only did the gift of goats help Inne and her family develop sustainable income, but she and her husband, James, were able to make a financial plan to provide for food, education and health care to their daughter, Naawine, and her three siblings. #GiveHeifer
All lives are interconnected. To our veterans and fallen soldiers. From a story I worked on some years back in southern Indiana for The Courier-Journal about a soldier who perished from a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq. His parents went on to found and oversee a scholarship program for excelling students at his former high school. #veteransday #america
Close contact with kids like Getu, age 9, is what keeps me focused and in touch with the work that I’m doing. Vision loss in children inevitably brings with it a dampened spirt. To be an engaged witness of sight renewal, time and time again in various corners of this marvelous world — and to observe the door of possibility open — is a true honor.
