Welcome to the new WorldwideMoment.org! We are proud to give you this brand new website dedicated to encouraging international participation in our simultaneous photography project for peace. As I’m writing this from a library basement in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A, there are 60 days remaining until Worldwide Moment 2009. So, let’s get started…
In 2002 at the age of 23 I was living in Los Angeles, hoping for an Aha Moment. I was a recent college graduate, very appreciative for the opportunity to attain a higher education, but I felt like a wanderer with no direction or destination. I was “getting by” working as a restaurant delivery driver and a production assistant on T.V. commercials. But something wasn’t right.
So I started volunteering.
The organization was called P.A.T.H. (People Assisting the Homeless). At first I helped in the office, stuffing envelopes and helping answer the phones. It was menial, but at least I felt something.
