All roads lead here

Six years ago, I started a little bulletin board because I wanted to learn more

about photography. I knew a great deal about Photoshop at that time, but myphotographic knowledge was limited. Digital SLRs were just becoming aord-

able, but quite frankly, the majority of existing bulletin board communities were

lled with giant egos and didnt give us beginners the answers we were looking

for. PhotographyBB was born.

Through writing Photoshop tutorials for my new community of beginners, it was

by chance that I was picked up as a Photoshop columnist for PBase Magazine.

After several editions, the editor (Arjun Roychowdhury) became a father and put

the magazine on hold to spend time with his family. With the void of no longer

writing for PBase, I decided that it was time for us to publish our own magazine

for beginner photographers. PhotographyBB Magazine was born.

Fast-forward four wonderful years and 54 magazine editions later, and I became a

father myself. I quickly discovered the time-management challenges of publish -

ing a magazine while striving to become a great Dad. PhotographyBB Magazine

was put on hold, and as time passed, I started to feel that we needed to retire the

magazine completely in order to serve our readership in a fresh new way. This

was just over one-year ago, and thats when CLARITY was born.

My life has changed dramatically through my photographic journey,

goal is for CLARITY to enhance your photographic experience. Were show you ways of continuing to develop your creativity,

improve your photography, introduce new concepts

and ideas, and most importantly how you can actu-

ally have a profound, positive impact on the lives of

others with your camera.

On behalf of our entire team at CLARITY,

thank you for subscribing. We truly

believe that photography is more

than just a craft, profession,

or hobby. Photography is a

lifestyle. I look forward to

your readership and I hope

that someday, when you

look back at your photographic

achievements, that CLARITY will

have been one turn on the road

that got you there.

My wife and I spent two weeks in Kenya

and Tanzania, which set our lives on a

new path. We came back with a love

for the Maasai people and the start of a crazy

journey. I never anticipated how my camera and

Kenyan kids would shake up the status quo.

In one of the safari camps, we struck up a con-

versation with our waiter. There was a quick

anity among us, an easy exchange. Willie

began to answer our questions about his family

and village. Willie radiated an enthu

On my rst trip to East Africa in1999, I hoped to return home with

a few good images. When I toucheddown in San Francisco, my camera,and my heart, held so much more.

We needed teachers to advise us,

doctors to design health programs,and money to invest in the kids. We

started a non-prot, The Kilgoris

Project (www.kilgoris.org). I used

my photographs from the school to

tell the story and to inspire people

to get involved.
