Winning images in AI-AP's Latin American Fotografía 5

August 27, 2016 in awards

I'm honored to have my work included in this year's Latin American Fotografía awards. You can see my images - from my documentation of last year's protests in Quito and from a story about the indigenous Shipibo community in Lima, Peru - starting here. And check out the slideshow of all of the winning work here. Lots of great stuff there!

I'm excited to be headed back to the Ecuadorian Amazon basin next week to continue my work with the Cofán. Stay tuned for updates (though not for a few weeks!) #cofan #rioaguarico #amazonia #indigenas #indigenous #amazonbasin

Gallery shows are great, but it's also important to me to bring my work back to the communities in which we work. So, I'm honored that we're able to share the photo exhibit from our project about aging in a variety of venues. Just this month, we've had exhibits at the LA Area Aging Advocacy Coalition summit (@laaacoalition), and at St. Barnabas Senior Services (@sbssla). Next up... Angelus Plaza, the largest affordable senior housing community in the country. #goinggrayinla #broadwaystories #aging #olderadults #photoexhibition

I didn't get to go skate today, but I am daydreaming about it. #GoSkateboardingDay (thanks @cicciolini for the video from which I pulled this still.)

Today we launched a Summer-long print sale benefit in collaboration with the Cofán Survival Fund / @cofansf - an NGO supporting indigenous Cofán communities of Ecuador's Amazon basin (cofan.org). 60% of all proceeds will go to the CSF to help protect Cofán land and culture. Please consider purchasing an exhibition quality print, and help spread the word!

First edit for a new project. Not sure yet of the form it's going to take, but it always helps to see things up on the wall... #editingphotos
