Head over to Travel Channel’s World Hum to check out my latest photo essay – The Alpaca Weavers of Ccaccaccollo. Visited this tiny community last year while in Peru. A lot of our porters live in Ccaccaccollo and their wives weave some of the most stunningly vibrant cloaks out of alpaca fibers.

Heart & Soul: From Manicures to Machu Picchu
Totally excited to see the double page article spread in the June/July 2009 issue of Heart & Soul magazine, which recounts my trek to Machu Picchu. It was a once in a lifetime trip and I felt blessed to have shared the experience with some amazing ladies as well. Excerpt – We lay sprawled along [...]
Postcard: Hide Or Seek

Postcard: Tranquil
During an outreach program in Nicaragua, our Spanish translator Freddy takes a quick nap while leaning on a tree – his strong facial profile against the backdrop of volcanoes in the distance instantly transports you to Latin America, giving you a sense of place.
Postcard: Get Up, Stand Up
This shot was taken in Nicaragua. At first glance, you’d think she’d seen something disturbing in the distance, prompting her to get up. On the contrary, this picture captured those few seconds when our faces contort while we’re trying to switch postions – be it getting up, sitting down, kneeling, etc. If you liked this [...]
