This week I was interviewed and featured on a couple of blogs…
The first one is for Josh Fulmer, creator of the Wander Project. Josh is a stellar journalist who I worked with at Nat Geo Adventure mag… since then he has gone on to work for Men’s Journal and is now a freelance writer. He’s about to kick off a round-the-world journey has launched a great site full of useful information to supplement his trip… He asked me to write and article on how to keep your expensive gear safe when traveling abroad.
Excerpt from the Wander Project:
“Keeping all the gear you left home with is a constant struggle, since there’s rarely a perfect solution to securing your stuff. Mann suggests evaluating each situation and determining the best course of action. “The most important thing is to be smart, active and aware,” he says. “Opportunity creates thieves, and if you create an opportunity by being careless, someone will capitalize on it.”

The second was an article for a blog run by Heber Vega, a stellar photographer that runs a blog featuring different humanitarian fotogs in the community… He gave me 10 questions about what it’s like working for missions groups, what the major struggles are, etc… I gave him 3500 words of response (maybe a little much!) but hopefully some useful stuff in there.
Excerpt from Heber Vega: 10.Qs:
“Most industries within the photo world require the photographers to pitch their services to clients who are aware they have a need… in the world of working with missions organizations you often don’t start by pitching your services, you must start by pitching that they have a need at all and THEN pitch your services!”
