Thanks, I'll Take My Bike

It was a big weekend towards global climate change. In New York alone over 300, 000 people marched to make this world a better place not only for themselves but for the many generations that will come after them. Cities from all over the world like Berlin, Bogata, Paris, Delhi and Melbourne (among others) also had massive turnouts for this critical issue. I think my favourite sign of the day was "There Is No Planet B."

 

 

I've never been so excited and motivated to push forward with my environmental series "Footprints." After this weekend it finally feels like the voices that count the most are finally being heard and I want mine to be heard in any way large or small.

 

 

If you look at the big picture of course it's overwhelming. We've dug quite a hole for ourselves but if we put one foot in front of the other and move forward with an environmental consciousness then I believe we can turn this around slowly but surely.

 

 

I'm not perfect so don't take this as me up on my soapbox ranting and raving. My latest photo is to do with the pollution of air travel but am I flying to Iceland in a few weeks to shoot?….yes, I am. BUT, did I spend our summer vacation staying local and camping?…yes, I did. If I look at the small picture then me not taking one flight doesn't seem to have much of an impact but if you look at the big picture and imagine everyone who flies taking away one flight per year that's huge.
