time for ACTION

So, in my aspirations to become a national geographic photographer (more of a dream than anything), I have decided to embark on a journey to Curitiba, Brazil! I'm going with MBmission on a program called "ACTION" that partners with different churches and local mission organizations, so we can learn and grow and help each other as a global church. It seems pretty great.
I've been given a role as co-team leader, and media person (for lack of a better term). I'm so pumped, especially since I'm going with some of my very good Bethany friends Ben and Sydney. I get to see how God is working around the world, be worked through, and further my creative passions. Pretty insane.
The city we are located in is breathtaking, and I know the country of Brazil is one of the most beautiful countries of the world. I won't be short of inspiring shots and beautiful moments.

The trip is going to cost me over $3,000, so if you would like to contribute by donating, it would be much appreciated (since I'm also trying to raise money to pay off school).

Here are some wallpaper picture I found on google that hopefully are a taste of pictures I will be taking!

Wide-angle lens never looked so good.
