About Me

My photo
D.
I've worked around the world doing news and media for humanitarian organizations, including in conflict zones. In between, I lived a year and a half in Southeast Asia, a strange place for an American. What I saw there, and the people I met, inspired me to write this blog. All photos here were taken by me, unless noted. Comments welcome!
