During my trips to all seven continents and more than 100
countries over the past 36 years, I have taken thousands of
photographs of people I observed, experienced or befriended.
Most of these pictures were candid, with only a few “on-the-
spot” poses. All were unplanned. To me, they represent the
“Human Fabric” that weaves us all together as one global
family. Despite our different languages, cultures, clothes,
customs, traditions, ethnicities or skin colors, we are all made
of the same cloth. We all laugh, cry, hope, dream, aspire, love,
communicate, listen, and seek to live meaningful and
purposeful lives. I am thankful for all from every nook and
cranny of the sphere, and the lessons they’ve taught me in
numerous ways. These panels are a representative sample of
my images. I have selected each of these because of a unique
memory or symbolic significance, composition, color, and
contrast, and their collective sense of harmony. Their
arrangement is both serendipitous and what subjectively
appealed to my eye. In my book, “Exploring Humanities Around
the World,” I discuss many of these encounters in vivid detail.
My hope is that this pictorial presentation conveys each of
these even more effectively than 1,000 words. If by seeing and
pondering this work you are struck afresh with the unity and
diversity of our human race, I will have achieved my purpose.
