My photographs introduce foreign cultures and exotic locations to our North American culture by relating the unknown—and therefore potentially frightening— realities of foreign cultures to the known and familiar in our own culture. A photograph can change our perception of other people, in other countries, and our ideas about the larger world, a world we may never be able to visit.
