In this box of slides, the shots went from poolside views in Sydney, to Dau Tieng, to views from a helicopter flying over rice Continue reading →

It is a globally recognized day to bring awareness to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) issues. I decided to write and do the following after reading about Asher Brown, a 13 year old kid from Texas. Continue reading →
