THE PITCH
As an award winning photojournalist and a returned Peace Corps Volunteer I propose an in-depth photographic documentary of Peace Corps volunteers in the field. My preliminary title for this documentary is “Making Peace with the World”. I will photograph Peace Corps volunteers working on their projects, living in their communities, and living their day-to-day lives. I will travel to two countries in each region where Peace Corps volunteers currently serve. I will make an honest record of what it means to be a Peace Corps volunteer, and show the world why the Peace Corps exists and how it is working to change the world.
This documentary project will create a portrait of Peace Corps that will illustrate the diversity of volunteers as well as the diversity of the peoples served. The photos will be published as a book with essays to provide perspective and promote the goals of Peace Corps. Help me to use my talents and abilities to document the positive accomplishments of Peace Corps.
