Article on Youth Media Reporter

Please check out this article I wrote for Youth Media Reporter on Liberian (or non-American) Youth Perspectives on the U.S. Presidential Elections.

http://www.youthmediareporter.org/2008/10/liberian_or_nonamerican_youth.html

It was also linked to an About.com article on African Thoughts on the US Elections (http://goafrica.about.com/b/2008/11/03/african-thoughts-on-the-us-election.htm)

And it was listed as one of three top favorite blog stories for Voices without Votes. (http://voiceswithoutvotes.org/2008/10/29/todays-faves-liberian-youth-pepsi-and-obama-in-the-lottery/). Voices without Votes opens a window on what non-Americans are saying in blogs and citizen media about US foreign policy and the 2008 presidential elections

The Last Shoot (Lebanon)

Just returned from Lebanon after wrapping the last shoot for the film I'm doing on young people in crises. It was my first time shooting in the Middle East and I absolutely found it intriguing and beautiful. Lebanon's 2006 war took its toll on young people, particularly those who live in the south, but there is a strong commitment toward peace and building a safer future for Lebanon's youth.

Here are some photos from both Beirut and Tyre, in the south.
