I came across this great project called Help Portrait recently through Chase Jarvis’ twitter and thought I would share it with my fellow photographers.

Photography has become one of my life’s biggest passions. In my travels, it is a tool that I use to capture stories, but it’s also become a means of bridging language and cultural divides, and a way to give a voice to someone on a totally different platform. I am constantly amazed by the transformation that happens with a subject in front of a lens, and marvel at the stories that unfold because I stopped to take a second look at someone. I’m not idealistically saying that photography alone can change the world. But I think it’s important to use whatever gifts we have to make a difference.

I hope this inspires you.
