“Every 2 minutes someone is sexually assaulted in America.”
Our Mission:
Fear 2 Freedom is a global non-profit dedicated to redeem and restore the lives of those affected by sexual assault, bringing them hope and healing. Our goal is to raise awareness of sexual abuse, bring change through vigilance and healing through compassion. We are in the business of “restoring joy” to those who have been sexually assaulted, encouraging them on their own journey from fear to freedom.
What We Do:
Fear 2 Freedom partners universities, hospitals, and communities to assemble after-care “Fear 2 Freedom Kits” for those affected by rape, child abuse, domestic violence, and sex-trafficking. By raising the cultural understanding, students and members of the community are empowered to be a part of the solution and help make a tangible difference in the lives of those abused.

As I was trying to learn new fields for my thesis, this is what my work area looked like at one point.
A soul in tension thats learning to fly

My daughter Emily on one of her many adventures.
*repost circa 2005, one of the first shots I took with my new D70. This is still one of my all time favs. I'm getting a bunch of prints done up soon and wanted to be sure I had good versions ready.
People, upon learning that I'm single and live with my mom, often ask me if I cook.
Well, I can cook -- I'm not an experienced cook or anything, but I can cook. I don't cook regularly but I help my mom to cook. When she's on a trip somewhere, then I cook my own meals rather than dine out.
1) In a wok, heat up some cooking oil.
2)Throw in the ginger and garlic (which is standard in almost all Chinese cooking : )
3) Strir-fry the ginger and garic quickly to prevent burning for a minute.
Just playing in the studio, long exposure - didnt exactly work out as planned.
I think a lot closer with less moving legs, less mic stand and more of those nice reflections... back to the studio I go.
All advice welcome ;)

My first attempts at domes. - I already have plans to add a couple more colours, and have a couple of locations in mind. The only thing I'm short on is time at the moment.

This is probably one of the most important things I learnt during class: to stop obsessing over correctly-exposed histograms to compose a photograph and let the creative side a little loose.
Probablemente una de las cosas más importantes que aprendí en la clase: dejar un poco más al margen histogramas expuestos correctamente al 100% y dar un poco más de protagonismo al lado creativo en la composición fotográfica.

I've never seen one of these before - cute little character. Not sure what type of shrew this is. Reifel Bird Sanctuary.
Confused by one of the chinese-only menu options on the wall, we had a waitress translate some of the options for us (I think she missed a couple of the beef dishes in the middle)
Despite all the efforts to accomodate all the pilgrims, the growing number each year makes it next to impossible. The entire journey is laden with difficulties and hardships that the pilgrims endure for a good learning and bigger cause.
What's more important, the destination or journey in learning? I believe the journey is more important than the destination because it's the journey that helps you learn and reach your destination. Once you reach your destination you should continue to look for new journeys and continue learning. Never settling on a destination.
