I will be giving a lecture in the south of Brazil this week, details are below if you happen to be in the area (I had two lectures in Rio this past week but unfortunately could not get the information in time to post here...my apologies.) After that I will be heading to Chicago where I will be attending the opening reception at ZIA Gallery on June 8th. I will have work showing with the Graffiti of War Project at West Point Military Academy in the fall and a large solo exhibition in Malta coming soon as well. Up Against the Wall gallery in Denver will also be adding several more prints to their collection this fall. I will post details here when the dates are confirmed for the shows later in the year.

A man works in a cramped and polluted factory that manufactures mirrors in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Factories like this one are often over crowded, poorly maintained and poorly built. Continue reading

I have spent a lot of time in Bangladesh over the past few years and, unfortunately, it was no surprise to hear of the building collapse in today's news. The conditions are terrible for most of the workers all across the country, but it is worse when the products are being made so that we here in the west can have incredibly cheap products and clothing Continue reading

These are a few of the thousands of people who have been attacked by acid. The woman are almost always attacked because they scorned the advances of potentail partner or turned down a marriage proposal. The male survivors were most often burned by a second party in a land or other dispute. Continue reading

I am in my final steps of editing and putting together my new feature story. It is an intimate look at acid attack survivors that I hope will bring some attention to this important and disturbing subject. Continue reading

It was a rough trip to Bangladesh but I came away from it with a very powerful and disturbing new story. I will give a preview next week and present the full story here in about two weeks. Stay tuned. Continue reading

I am back in Bangladesh for the next five weeks or so, at least it is not quite a blistering hot and humid as it was a few months ago. It is still just as loud, dirty and crazy as always, so I am sure some interesting photos will come in time. Continue reading

Jet lagged and in bed on my ship, sifting through images for an old friends book cover. She needs something from or near Okinawa and it has to be something "nice" meaning no protests, no Marine Corps training, homeless, prostitution etc. It's always amazing how hard a simple request can be!

I am on the road, as usual, and will be for the next few months. I have a few new projects I will be working on as well as a few exhibitions and speaking engagements which you can find out about on the www.zoriah.com site. I am also working on finishing several edits in my free time including the War Bunker story, more on Child Labor and a couple of other stories. Unfortunately since I don't actually have a lot of free time, it might be a while before those stories are posted here. Continue reading

Groups of young explorers can be found all over Europe every weekend trekking into forbidden places for the thrill of seeing things that few others have had a chance to see. France in particular has hundreds of sites around the country that are rich in history and also off limits to the public. Continue reading

I'm constantly trying to catch up with editing and have finally gotten to a story I shot three years ago. The story follows a group of urban explorers from around France as they illegally enter and explore abandoned World War II Bunkers. It is dark, moody and might just make you shiver a bit when you think about those that lived, faught and died in these bunkers during the war. I look forward to sharing these images soon.

This series of images was shot in the four days after Hurricane Sandy hit New York City. It has taken me a while to edit and post them because I was staying inside of the evacuation zone with no electricity and no internet (not to mention no water or heat either.) Continue reading
