Traveling around the world greatly inspires my filming. It's refreshing to see people dedicating their lives to the conservation of this small planet of ours. We struggle every day and sometimes our hard work looks like it is all done in vain. However, I see progress somehow when I am with these people.

When I talk to these people while filming, their true passion comes forth. It is so vivid that I can only capture part of it. I try to complement it with the beauty of their world, to strengthen the message of the importance of what they do. I try to conveying to my audience only fragments of their lives which must be preserved!

All of these places and people are real--real feelings, real smiles, real actions. We need to keep it this way. This is my tribute to help the environment, to help tell their stories so that we can learn from their traditions and their adventures.

Through my viewfinder I can only capture the moment--a story of their past, who they are, and what our future can become. These people have helped me to understand with their actions, with their generosity, and with their friendship. Every time we go back to these places we are treated as part of the family--one planet.

We have so much to learn. There is so much work to be done to make this world a better place. And it all starts with us.
