The real adventure begins when everything goes wrong. When your life goes totally off the rails is the moment when you start really living. I live to travel. I try to see unlikely destinations to glean some sort of knowledge of the way other people live. I’ve been through the mountains in Pakistan, in a van going 60mph around hairpin curves, with a driver that thought he was starring in his own action flick. I ate dinner nine feet from Pakistani President (at the time) Musharraf in Rawalpindi, rolling blackouts left the dining room pitch black, I dove under the table as armed guards swarmed the President. I’ve seen the lingering face of genocide in Cambodia, and shaken hands with kind fisherman and rice farmers. I live to see the next place, the place I haven’t seen. As a photographer and cinematographer, I try to capture it all and bring it back home. Danger is just another step along the way.
