In 1984 I went to the Philippines to photograph the economic, social and political conditions that contributed to the civil war during the Marcos dictatorship. I returned many times in the past twenty years, and produced photo-essays about the indigenous people of the Cordillera Mountains, as well as the farmers, sugar workers, peasants, and rebel soldiers on the islands of Luzon, Mindanao and Negros.
In 1996 I traveled to Myanmar (Burma) to document human rights abuses under the ruling junta's military dictatorship, the spread of HIV/AIDS, and to meet with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel peace laureate.
In 2005-2006, I set up the digital archives and taught photography workshops to children affected by the Asian tsunami in Banda Aceh, Indonesia and southern Thailand, for InSIGHT Out!
