Remember when you signed up for my email list, I told you you’d be the first to know about new things going on in my world?
Well I wanted to let you know (first!) that I’m working with a production team on a new travel documentary series called Capture.
I’m really excited about it and wanted your opinion on some ideas…
This is going to be a TV series about exotic trips around the world in search of the perfect shot. I want to show you the world through my lens. Not only the beauty of the place, but the culture and hardships of the people as well.
For example, a couple of years ago I went to Cambodia with World Vision to help bring awareness to human trafficking.
Amidst the difficulty of the subject, I found profound beauty in the people that were helping on the streets and the mysteries of the ancient ruins of Angkor Watt. Yes, I photographed the place, but I want to do more than that! I want to take you with me there to meet these people, see the temple that was lost in the jungle for centuries and talk with the unsung heroes that dedicate their lives to helping others.
One of the episode ideas is to pick up where I left off on a surf trip to Africa on the Skeleton coast of Namibia. Elephants and lions walk on the beach there! Many years ago, I drove with a group of surfers all the way out to this desolated part of the world, only to realize that we didn’t have the resources (like fuel, food and water!) to stay and surf.
I’ve been haunted by that experience since…
So I want to ask you — what places in the world would you like to see? Where can we combine beauty, adventure and help bring awareness to the way people live around the world?
I don’t know if this TV show is going to happen or not, but I would love to hear your ideas and what interests you. Please comment below.
I promise to keep you posted every step of the way.
