the photography on this website covers a variety of urban and social issues from mass transit and urban street art to economic equity between "industrialized" and "poor" countries. though the process of globalization affects each and every one of us, our life experiences are unique and very little fits cleanly into shades of black and white like photographic depictions of life. the issues of globalization, urbanization, and development are heavy, and there are enough images portraying the suffering of humanity. the goal of this project is to graphically explicate the abstruse roots of these issues while exploring a wide expression of beauty and hope.
