I was recently granted the opportunity to travel to Pasadena, California for the Amnesty International Conference. It was a wonderful experience to be around so many passionate people who truly believe their choices will change the world.
I feel I have finally found that my ambitions lie in the field of environmental justice. There are so many injustices in this world that include human rights and the natural world. I'm going to focus my studies on the adverse effects of the environment and how they shape human health.
My studies at the Evergreen State College have allowed me to academically pursue my interests in science, social justice, international affairs and photography.
After the AI conference, with the companionship of two amazing girls who I had grown close with over the weekend, the Metro led us through the concrete grid that makes up LA. Our mission: get to Venice Beach before dark.
LA is a city pulsating with culture. I gained a new found perspective of this concrete jungle.
I had the opportunity to photograph some amazing people. The faces you discover on Venice beach are not easy to forget. There is a story behind every pair of eyes.
