If you like something get to the source. Thank you @ronitn for walking with me. 23 Mar 2024

I took this photo in the early morning of my birthday in November. I had just woken up and was taking a stroll in the Mundari camp where I saw this man singing out loud and walking around the camp with his cow. I wondered what he was doing. I was told that the girl he liked was in the camp. He was singing about how beautiful his cow is, and how he would give that cow to her family if she agreed to marry him. Just after I took this photo I got a phone call from the capital city Juba. We were summoned to the office of media authority because we were accused of spying in the country and photographing without proper permits. The accusations were serious and the consequences seemed even worse. We were advised to escape the county- we had two options: drive south through the conflict and risk being in middle of the war or drop all our equipment-everything we had-and leave as tourists from Juba airport. We picked the latter hoping that our names wouldn’t raise suspicions at the airport. Have you seen Argo? I started my birthday in a remote cattle camp in South Sudan and ended in Kampala, Uganda. I turned 31 that day. While sitting in that airplane, nervous and scared out of my wits, I asked myself a question- “How did I even get here?” “Why do I do this?” I am still wondering. I don’t exactly know why, but I know that it’s important to meet amazing people whose lives are so different from mine, but with whom I can still feel such a human connection. It’s a gift, wrapped up in foreign clothing, traditions, and food, but in the end we always recognize our sameness and the fact that we’re all part of one big human community. #love #life #photography 11 Jul 2019

An ode to @anoushkashankarofficial . Thank you for your music , thank you for your love. ❤️ 08 Oct 2023

Uniquely to the Mundari culture, cows are also beloved friends. All male Mundari have a favorite cow, or to be exact – favorite bull that they care for until marriage, when it forms part of the bride price paid to their future wife’s parents. Until they part, the men pamper their bulls more than they will their future children. They clean them, massage them with dung ash twice a day, decorate their horns with tassels to chase off insects, sing for them and sing their praises. #mundari #southaudan Text by my dear friend @ygpavlov who also accompanied me on this journey! 04 Jan 2019

#Mundari #SouthSudan 15 May 2019

Sacred river, electric cafes, incredible energy, and the spiritual doorway to the greats - Rishikesh. A place where I spent the last few days, addressing those parts of me that I cannot see. Like my breath, my subconscious, my light & my darkness. Meeting enlightened beings, having profound experiences, and exploring the world within while walking without. I met a host of people who opened their hearts out and took me in. It is an unconditional feeling that I experienced over the last 72 hours, this feeling flows amongst us. All we have to do is be present and tap in. All those who wander are not lost.This one has to be for them. For you. For love. 17 Dec 2021

South Sudan officially known as the Republic of South Sudan, is a landlocked country in East-Central Africa. In 2011, South Sudan gained independence from Sudan, making it the world’s youngest country and marking an end to Africa's longest-running civil war. But two years later South Sudan plunged into conflict after president Mr. Kiir who belongs to the Dinka tribe sacked Mr. Machar as vice president belonging to the Nuer tribe. Troops loyal to both men clashed in the capital that December and ethnically charged fighting soon spread, shutting down oil fields, forcing millions to flee and killing hundreds of thousands of people. Between all this madness lives a stunning group of people called the Mundari. They are a cattle herding community which remained neutral in the war. I came to South Sudan because I was extremely curious to learn more about them and photograph them. However, it wasn’t easy to reach them. South Sudan is technically still at war which means everything from getting the visas to getting permits and cameras in the country was a mission in itself. I had go through a check point every few miles on the way to reach the Mundari. Every single thing and logistical challenge I went through seemed worth it once I reached the village. This place and the Mundari people didn’t fail to amaze me. They are smart, humble, hospitable and have a great sense of humor. We spoke about life in a cattle camp, their cows and ways of protecting them. I consider myself very fortunate to have got an opportunity to come here and spend time with this beautiful group of people! @ygpavlov thank you for traveling with me! #southsudan #mundari 18 Nov 2018

Cattle raiding is a longstanding feature of many East African countries including South Sudan. Castle rustling is violent, and claims lives on both sides. Many blame the significant payments men must make to their brides’ families to marry for causing the cattle rustling to begin with. However, the ready availability of arms and the incorporation of this practice into the larger political conflict in South Sudan. Spears and arrows are now replaced with AK-47s and other automatic weapons which are available for as little as the price of two cows. Text by @ygpavlov #southsudan #mundari 11 Jan 2019

Last week on my trip to Alaska with @profotousa I met Britany and her mother Danielle. They are members of an Inupiaq community, from northwestern Alaska. Their village, Kotzebue, is 33 miles from the Arctic circle. Still largely a hunter-gatherer community, the Inupiaq continue to subsist on animals from land and sea such as walrus, seal, whale, polar bear, caribou, and various fish. Unfortunately, warming trends in the Arctic threaten their lifestyle in many ways. Thinning sea ice and warmer winters make travel and hunting more perilous and less predictable, and there is increased flooding and erosion along the coast, which endangers coastal villages. Britany and Danielle now make their home in Anchorage, where Britany is pursuing a career in medicine. Despite leading a totally modern lifestyle, their roots are strong and the love they hold in their hearts for their culture endures. They were kind enough to teach me about the Inupiaq traditions, explaining about the hunting cycles and the great respect the people have for all of the animals used for food, clothing, and other life-supporting products. The parka you see in the photo was handmade by Britany's grandmother. The women were proud to show me this piece of their heritage, and I was humbled to feel the power it seemed to bestow upon Britany as she stood for the portrait. The traditions of the Inupiaq still resonate deep and steady within these amazing women, even as they forge a new path. Many thanks and much respect to both of you, @britmbolton and @ak_aphrodite . I look forward to coming to your village and learning more about the Inupiaq people. Big thank you to @jussstiney and @hanneloregruber for putting me in touch with them, @kelliebieser for all the help and support on the shoot, @susan_ely @arasdirts @cliffhausner And @profotousa For all the love. @angellairwin your encouragement and love completes this. Thank you guys #Alaska 21 Sep 2018

It’s worth the work to see what’s inside. Climbing thousands of meters and shivering in sub-zero temperatures overnight to see a volcano reveal what’s underneath the ground is a gift. I realized that it’s not so different from the portrait photography that has given such purpose to my life, or from the friendships and human connections that make the experience of living so exquisite. An eruption is a type of expression. Expression is a conveyance of something, usually through words, gestures or conduct. In this case it’s a violent natural event that exposes the internal for a period of time. And witnessing this inside-out moment is profound because it describes us, the world around us, and the process of life that we’re always yearning to tap into, remember, and understand. It is what all stories are teaching us and pointing toward. It’s a bold showing of the grand design for how things work. It’s the Leela, or divine play, that hides and reveals in a dance of manifestation and immutable source. I take pictures of people in an attempt to create a space, a moment, in which we can connect to what’s usually hidden inside another human being. This is how nature is built. The material world that we can see, touch, hear, smell, and taste is like a covering of some essence that’s under, within, latent, intangible. Catching a glimpse of invariable existence amidst the trappings of fluctuating manifestation is such a profound reframing that it changes you, your perspective, and your capacity to be who you are. I haven’t yet figured out how to sufficiently explain it in words, but this is why I do what I do. The volcano has given me another metaphor to reflect on, and it’s been worth every steep incline, every drop of sweat, every lost hour of sleep. The gift is way greater than the price. 03 May 2022
