It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.


While in Senegal, I found myself surronded by countless child beggers. I could see these children sleeping in piles of trash, or begging around anywhere they could for food and money. Often times, I would give away my breakfast to them. This child was just standing on a fence boarding the ocean, a pile of trash at his feet. His silhouette against the background was really striking to me.

There are as many ways to live as there are people in this world. Each one deserves a closer look.
