"Need to whisper to ourselves this system stinks and public life was not meant to be this way.… If we continue saying it the ideas behind the words will come alive and grow wings."

Veteran news journalist and author of literary nonfiction. First book, The Gospel of Father Joe: Revolutions & Revelations in the Slums of Bangkok (Wiley, 2008) is about a curmudgeonly but miraculous Catholic priest who lives and works in the squatter slums of Bangkok, Thailand. I first met him in 2000 while in SE Asia reporting on human (i.e. sex) trafficking.

"Previously the tool was the variable and the human being the constant; subsequently the human being became the variable and the machine the constant. Why do I say this? This is clearly shown in Universality photos and just look into this set www.flickr.com/ph... Would it not change you, would it not bring out love from within just by viewing it?

This level of emotive strength in photography is only attainable by a person with sensitive souls like Universality. A soul sensitive enough to do humanitarian works on AIDS awareness like him. Let alone a fine photographer, what a fine person to have as a friend indeed.
