A Photograhic Portrait of People
(Video)
This video, a chronicle of exploration, in unlike most explorer stores. Its focus is not on conquering geography and discovering the exotic, but rather on crossing cultural boundaries and discovering bonds with other human beings.
Each photograph, whether the serenity of an old man in India or the defiance of a street child in Colombia, is testimony to the diversity of human existence. Under One Sun is a challenge to look beyond surface differences; to look into people's hearts and minds, and to identify with what they may be feeling or thinking.
Ours is a land rich in cultures and traditions of many people. Our pride in this heritage will determine our strength as a nation and the quality of our social fabric. Young people are the trustees of the future. Through tolerance and understanding and a celebration of differences, they can help build a future in which all peoples have a place in the sun.
