Playing For Change: Mexico Lindo y Querido

I love when people pull on the common ties of humanity to link us all together. Music is one of those. Take a look at this video and you'll know what I mean.

Photography is not just pictures, it's ideas...and does your pictures match those ideas.

John Moore Speaks On His time Covering The Arab Uprisings

Photographer John Moore on 'Epic' Libya Battles, Arab World Revolutions from Mike Fritz on Vimeo.

Combat photography is something that is truly an art on it's own. War is a place where humanity rises and falls. Where death is a salty taste, and emotion is at is rawest form. The photographers that capture these moments are ordained with the most sacred stories one can ever cover.

In this video combat photographer John Moore speaks about his time covering the Arab Uprisings in the Middle East, specifically in Egypt, Bahrain, and Libya.

Documentary on Photojournalists

This exposing short documentary on photojournalists gives an honest look at the challenging profession. While the focus of this film is a bit narrow, it still gives a slice of what life is like with a camera on the road.

Two Weeks In Tuscany

I wonder what it's like to live surrounded by such beauty and history. Today in America we only have modern buildings and work cities. While they each have their own distinct charm, there's something totally different about Europe. I bet its inspiring.

Time Is Nothing

It's my dream to travel the world, right? This man did it. He answers some fascinating questions to how he paid for it (surprisingly it was the same coast as staying at home in SF) and what equipment he used. This video literally brought up so much emotion that's inside of me when I see the world. I just can't wait until its my turn.

Speeding into the subway station you miss a lot of the action. This is what it looks like when a train pulls in with everyone waiting to board. Can you see yourself there?

Also, note the little girls running in the background. Love that.

War Songs From Congo

"War has shaped all their life. They were less than few years old when genocide in Rwanda happened causing millions of refugees fleeing into their homeland: South and North Kivu. Causing instability in the region, humanitarian crisis, genocide and in the end, as a result: domestic war. Nowadays they are teenagers, or in their mid-twenties and they recall that time as their first and worst memories ever. What they remember from the period later was not much better.

Usually they don’t have a say. The cliché gives them no other option: they are seen as victims, killers or freaks. They live in one of the most dangerous and dreadful places in the world: in Kivus in East Democratic Republic of Congo, where war lasted for two decades. Young hip-hop, rap and RnB musicians (Dangerous, Young Boys, B2K, Kashmal, Lille Cent, Peace Life, Victory and many others) want to rebuild their life."

The Beauty of Afghanistan

Afghanistan – touch down in flight from Augustin Pictures on Vimeo.
As each of us has his own impression of Afghanistan that is predominantly marked with pictures of foreign forces, explosions and terror, we were privileged to have access to capture daily life and portrait some people of Afghanistan.

We hope the pictures you know will merge with the pictures you see and will enrich your view on the country in the Hindu Kush.
