NOTEPAD: I'm amazed at how many people complain about their daily lives...

This quick sequence of images were taken on a street in downtown Ho Chi Minh City (i.e. Saigon). I discovered this old women trying to sell packets of gum to passing tourists. While her life is a physical struggle, she appeared happy and content. Instead of begging...she makes a simple living selling gum for just 5 cents a pack profit.

OBSERVATION: While I've attempted to remain politically neutral throughout this BLOG, I believe Globalization has partially contributed to the rise of Islamic Fundamentalism.
The dramatic changes for the status of women in Asia mirror the modern pressures currently underway in Islamic countries.

The verdict is still out whether our world can withstand this latest storm of hate & violence. Unlike facism or communism, the roots of this cultural struggle are based on corrupt religious ideals. While I don't claim to have all the answers, I believe world peace may rest in the further social & political empowerment of women in all societies. Somehow, instead of focusing on those issues which divide our world, it's time to build a permanent bridge of peaceful tolerance.

Perhaps only the mothers, daughters, & sisters of the world understand the love it takes to stop the ongoing madness.

NOTEPAD: More than 20 years ago, as a young soldier, I traveled to El Paso, Texas to photograph troops training with the New Mexico Army National Guard. It was the first time I had professionally picked up a camera. Riding around the desert in an old Army jeep, I had fun trying to capture soldier images.
